Equipment
- Measuring spoons
- Mixing bowl for the marinade
- Whisk or spoon
- Grill, oven, or air fryer
- Tongs
- Basting brush for brushing extra marinade or glaze
Ingredients
Meat
- 1 kg pork ribs
Marinade
- 4 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 4 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 4 tbsp shaoxing wine
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- a few drops of red food coloring add as needed
Instructions
- Make the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients until the sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
- Marinate the ribs. Add the pork ribs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Bring to room temperature. Take the ribs out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking so they come closer to room temp.
- Grill method: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the ribs, turning occasionally and basting with extra marinade, until they’re cooked through and nicely caramelized at the edges.
- Oven method: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the ribs on a foil-lined tray with a wire rack and roast until cooked through, flipping once halfway. Broil for a few minutes at the end to get that sticky, charred finish.
- Serve. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with jasmine rice, noodles, or steamed bok choy. Or enjoy them as a snack or appetizer!
