Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 5 cloves garlic ((minced))
  • 1 tablespoon canned pineapple ((minced))
  • 1 star anise ((ground in a mortar and pestle))
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground bean sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato puree ((or 1 tablespoon tomato paste mixed with 1 tablespoon water))
  • 5 tablespoons ketchup
  • ½ tablespoon five spice powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ½ tablespoon paprika
  • 2-3 racks baby back ribs

Instruction

  • Stir together all the ingredients from the garlic to the paprika to make the BBQ sauce. In a zip-loc bag, add the ribs and half the sauce. Either marinate them overnight, or for 4-6 hours with a little extra sauce. Store the leftover sauce for later use.
  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a roasting pan lined with heavy duty foil for easy clean-up. Add about 2 cups of water to the pan so there is about a half inch of water. Place a roasting rack on top of the pan and place your spare ribs on the rack (rib side up) and place in your preheated oven.
  • Roast for 30 minutes. Flip the racks over and roast for another 45-60 minutes. Add water to the roasting pan as the water dries up during the roasting process. If you like, you can finish them with a couple minutes under the broiler.
