Prep Ribs​

• Using a meat cleaver or sharp knife, cut ribs into separate pieces and place them into a pan large enough to hold them in a single layer.
• In a mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients; Soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, Rice vinegar, Chinese 5 spice, brown sugar, chili sauce and crushed garlic.
• Pour marinade over spareribs and turn to coat.
• Cover dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Turn ribs from time to time while marinading.

Cook Ribs​

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place a wire rack over a roasting pan. Fill roasting pan half full with warm water.
• Using tongs, remove ribs from marinade and place them in a single layer on the wire rack. Brush with marinade; reserve the remaining marinade.
• Cook ribs for 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven and turn ribs over. Baste with remaining marinade and return to the oven to cook for another 30 minutes.
• Add additional water to the roasting pan if needed. The water steams the ribs as they cook so they do not dry out.
• Transfer ribs to a warm serving platter and serve immediately.
• Provide plenty of napkins when serving.
