Oven Baked Asian Spareribs

This is a great and easy oven baked rib recipe. I first used a recipe from Bon Appetit magazine and changed or added ingredients over the years. I love the Asian inspired marinade. They seem to please even the most eclectic taste. It is best to marinade the ribs overnight. If not, no less than 4 hours. This either can be served as the main meat dish or as an appetizer.

• Ready In: 2 hrs
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
• 1⁄2 cup ketchup
• 1⁄4 cup white wine
• 1⁄4 cup  pineapple juice
• 3  garlic cloves, minced
• 1  tablespoon gingerroot, grated
• 1  tablespoon parsley
• 2  racks of baby-back pork ribs

Directions

1. In a bowl combine brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, white wine, pineapple juice, garlic, gingerroot and parsley. Mix well.
2. Separate 1/2 cup of marinade for basting later.
3. Lay out baby back ribs in single layer in a marinade dish. Pour marinade over top and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate over night. Turning every couple of hours to marinade both sides.
4. Preheat oven at 300°F.
5. Line bottom of broiler pan with foil. Lay baking rack on top and spray with cooking spray. Use cooking spray on another large piece of foil. Lay rack of ribs, curved side up, on foil, and wrap up in foil to seal. Repeat with second rack of ribs. Lay foil packets in single layer, on baking rack.
6. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Remove ribs from foil and place directly on baking rack, meat side up. Pour reserve marinade over top of ribs. Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, until ribs start to brown nicely.
7. Remove from oven.
8. Let rack stand at room temp for 5 minutes before cutting into individual ribs.
9. Serve.
