The Best Chinese BBQ Ribs
Αυτά τα κινέζικα BBQ παϊδάκια είναι ο απόλυτος συνδυασμός γλυκοπικάντικων, καραμελωμένων και sticky γεύσεων. Καλυμμένα με μια πλούσια και αρωματική μαρινάδα από σάλτσα hoisin, σόγια, σησαμέλαιο, τζίντζερ, σκόρδο και κινέζικα πέντε μπαχαρικά, τα παϊδάκια καραμελώνουν υπέροχα εξωτερικά, ενώ παραμένουν τρυφερά και ζουμερά στο εσωτερικό.
Ingredients
- 4 racks meaty baby-back ribs cut into individual ribs
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
For the marinade
- ½ cup hoisin sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup Shaoxing rice wine or white wine
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves pressed
- 1 thumb piece ginger peeled and finely chopped or grated
- 2 tsp Chinese five spice powder
- ¼ tsp chili flakes
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Put ribs in a plastic zip-lock bag or a large bowl.
- Mix together all the marinade ingredients. Pour marinade into bag or bowl and mix well with ribs. Close bag tightly or cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Leave ribs to marinate for 12 -24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 160° C, fan. Place ribs and their marinade in a baking pan. Mix any left over marinade with ½ cup water. Cover ribs with baking paper and then tightly with foil. Roast undisturbed for 2 hours.
- Increase oven temperature to 200° C. Uncover pan and roast ribs 20 minutes longer, turning and basting with the pan juices every 7-8 minutes, until ribs are dark and caramelized and pan juices have thickened.
- Serve at once sprinkled with sesame seeds and lots and lots of paper napkins.
