INGREDIENTS
- 1 ½ - 2 kg pork Spareribs
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup hot chicken broth
METHOD
- In a bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, ginger, tomato paste, and honey, and mix. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of water with the cornstarch until dissolved. Add this to the spice mixture and stir well.
- Ask your supermarket butcher to cut two racks of spareribs vertically in half. Wash and thoroughly dry the spareribs, then cut them individually. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil and fry the spareribs for 3-4 minutes on each side. Do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan and lower the temperature. Once browned, remove them to a plate and drain any excess oil from the skillet.
- Return the fried spareribs to the pan and pour the prepared mixture over them. Add the broth, cover with a lid, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Alternatively, if you want to grill the spareribs over charcoal, marinate them in the sauce and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Place them on the grill rack and cook over charcoal until nicely browned, basting them with the sauce periodically.
