Ingredients
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon canned pineapple (minced)
- 1 star anise (ground in a mortar and pestle)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground bean sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree (or 1 tablespoon tomato paste mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
- 5 tablespoons ketchup
- ½ tablespoon five spice powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ tablespoon paprika
- 2-3 racks baby back ribs
Instructions
- Stir together all the ingredients from the garlic to the paprika to make the BBQ sauce. In a zip-loc bag, add the ribs and half the sauce. Either marinate them overnight, or for 4-6 hours with a little extra sauce. Store the leftover sauce for later use.
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a roasting pan lined with heavy duty foil for easy clean-up. Add about 2 cups of water to the pan so there is about a half inch of water. Place a roasting rack on top of the pan and place your spare ribs on the rack (rib side up) and place in your preheated oven.
- Roast for 30 minutes. Flip the racks over and roast for another 45-60 minutes. Add water to the roasting pan as the water dries up during the roasting process. If you like, you can finish them with a couple minutes under the broiler.
