This dish would not shame the most reputable Asian restaurant! I gave it to YS, a noted connoisseur on Asian food, and he said they were the most delicious ribs he ever ate. I humbly agree with him! Thanks, Rikki M.

Serves 8–9 (much more if serving as a second-choice main dish)
-
Season spare ribs generously with salt and pepper on all sides, and Montreal steak seasoning, if desired. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil until smoking hot. Sear ribs on all sides until golden brown. Remove ribs from pot and set aside.
-
Turn heat down to medium (if necessary spray pot with oil spray) and add minced onion. Cook seven minutes. Add in ginger and cook another two minutes. Add in cornstarch and mix; cook for one minute. Now add hoisin sauce, water, chili sauce, liquid smoke, honey, and rice vinegar. Whisk together until smooth.
-
Return spare ribs to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover pot and cook for two and a half hours. After two and a half hours, remove lid and cook over medium heat for another 30 minutes, if desired, to reduce sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. (If serving the next day, remove some of the fat that rises to the top before reheating.) Garnish with chopped scallions and/or sesame seeds before serving.
Note:
I tested this recipe using dried ginger as well. It’s like comparing apples and pizza! Don’t compromise on quality ingredients in this recipe.
Tip:
If reheating before Yom Tov, place on blech or hot plate and not in oven, as it will dry out if warmed for too long.
