Treat your ingredients with care...
- Hoisin sauce — Look for a high-quality hoisin sauce with natural ingredients for the best flavor.
- Chinese five-spice powder — If you can't find it, you can make your own by combining equal parts ground cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra tenderness, marinate the ribs in the hoisin glaze overnight before baking.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the glaze.
- To achieve a smoky flavor, you can finish the ribs on a grill instead of baking them in the oven.
- Serve the ribs with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete Chinese meal.
- Leftover ribs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or on the grill.
Serving advice
Serve the Chinese-style Barbecue Ribs as a main course, accompanied by steamed rice and a side of stir-fried vegetables. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an attractive presentation.
Presentation advice
Arrange the ribs on a platter, drizzle any remaining glaze over them, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with chopsticks or forks for easy enjoyment.
