Ingredients
-
6 pounds pork spareribs
-
2 medium onions, cut into wedges
-
6 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
6 whole star anise pods
-
½ cup water
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped
-
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
-
½ cup honey
-
2 tablespoons brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
-
Place ribs in a large stock pot with the 2 wedged onions, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, pepper, and star anise pods. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and let simmer in meat juices until ribs are tender when pierced, about 1 ¼ hours. Stir occasionally.
-
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add remaining chopped onion and sauté, stirring often, until onion is soft. Blend in the ginger, honey, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Cook all together, stirring, until well blended. Remove from heat.
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Using tongs, remove ribs from the stock pot and arrange in a single layer in an 11x16-inch baking dish. Brush evenly with honey mixture and bake in the preheated oven, basting often with pan drippings, about 30 minutes or until ribs are well glazed.
Recipe Tip
