Servings: 4

Ingredients

2 racks spareribs, about 2# each

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon dry sherry

4 tablespoons catsup

1 tablespoon orange juice, frozen concentrate

4 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce

½ teaspoon five-spice powder

2 drops red food coloring

Cooking Method

Trim any fat off the ribs and remove the overlapping piece of the meat on the bony side, if any. 

• Lay the ribs flat on a tray.

Mix the remaining ingredients to form a marinade. 

1. Rub the marinade on both sides of the ribs and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, overnight if possible.

2. Place marinated meat on a rack over a pan filled with 1 inch of water to prevent sticking and burning in the oven.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

1. Roast ribs for 35 minutes.

2. Increase oven to 450°F and cook for 10 more minutes. 

Serve Immediately.
