Ingredients

1 cup ketchup

0.75 cup hoisin sauce

0.5 cup honey

5 tablespoons soy sauce

5 tablespoons dry Sherry

0.25 cups white wine vinegar recipe calls for 0.25 cups plus 2 tsp

0.25 cup sesame seeds

2 tablespoons curry powder recipe calls for 2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp (I use 1/2)

2 tablespoons oriental sesame oil recipe calls for 2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp

2 tablespoons orange peel grated (I use 1/2)

2 tablespoons salted black beans minced (I also use some black bean garlic sauce)

2 tablespoons garlic minced

1 tablespoon chili paste with garlic

3 lb baby back pork ribs


Directions

Whisk all ingredients except pork in lg bowl to blend. Divide ribs between 2 lg baking dishes. Brush with half of sauce. Cover ribs and remaining sauce separately and refrigerate overnight. Original recipe: Preheat oven to 375. Transfer ribs to lg heavy baking sheets. Roast ribs until tender, basting frequently with some of remaining sauce, about 1 hour. Place remaining sauce in heavy sm saucepan and bring to simmer. Transfer ribs to platter. Cut into individual ribs. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately. My variation for more tender ribs: Wrap ribs with a good amount of sauce in triple layer of aluminum foil. You can do this with whole racks, 1/2 racks, or as individual ribs. Note that the next step is easiest with individual ribs because they don't fall apart as much, but 1/2 racks and whole racks do come out somewhat more tender (literally falling off the bone with any manipulation). Preheat oven to 300. Cook ribs meat side down for 2 -2 1/2 hours. Remove from oven. Turn on broiler. Open up the foil packets and remove ribs. Place ribs meat side up on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Cover with generous amount of sauce and broil for a/b 2-5 minutes until bubbling. Be careful at this step not to burn.

These ribs are amazing. Grilled over wood fire til the sauce caramelized. Mmmmmmmmm. . . .

These were great - followed the directions for the "fall of the bone tender" ribs using foil and it worked! We will be having these again very soon
