KCA (Korean-Chinese-American) finger-licking ribs



KCA Finger-Licking Ribs
Serves 3-4

Ingredients
2kg pork ribs (baby back or spareribs work well)

For the marinade2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoshing wine (or dry sherry in a pinch)
2 tablespoons agave nectar (or honey)
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

For the glaze
1-2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon agave nectar (or honey)
1 teaspoon chili powder for those who like it hot (optional)

Directions
1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a freezer bag, put in the ribs, massage to make sure ribs are well-coated and let sit for at least a few hours or even overnight, turning the ribs every so often to ensure they are evenly marinated.

2. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 150°C. Dump the ribs and marinade into an oven pan, top up with enough water to cover the ribs ¾ way, cover tightly with foil and cook for an hour or until ribs are tender.

3. Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl and get a brush ready.

4. At the end of the cooking time, remove the ribs from the cooking liquid and place the ribs on a foil-lined tray. Turn the oven up to grill. Brush the pork with the sweetened hoisin sauce and put under the grill until the ribs start to char and look sticky. You may want to brush the ribs a couple of times for more intense flavour.

5. Remove carefully from the oven, cut the slabs into individual ribs and serve with lots of napkins!
Note: If you want to do all of this on an outdoor barbecue, you can cook the ribs over low heat after removing from the marinade. Or just use the grill to cook them at the end, at step 4.
And if you like a lot of sauce with your ribs, feel free to cook the marinade liquid down till it is very reduced and syrupy.
