Fabulous!!!! I used boneless beef ribs, which everyone knows are generally dry, but this recipe made them so tender and not at all dry! My 11 year old son who usually only eats noodles when we have Chinese food ate two ribs~Zomg Amazing~ I will make these regularly! Great recipe thank you for sharing <3!

This is a good recipe. I had the butcher cut the rack of baby back ribs in half so that each bone would be somewhat short. This made the dish into finger food, or appetizer style. Otherwise, I followed the recipe as written except I sprinkled sesame seeds liberally on the finished product. Nobody raved about the ribs, and I sorta liked them. Nice, but no big cigar. Next time skip the 5 spice and add 1000 pounds of habanero sauce.

I live in Manchester UK. I live with my soul mate Lee (whom i have been in a relationship with with for 22 years) and our 3 children (or adults as they all are now).
I have always been passionate about cooking and spent many years standing in the family kitchen watching my father create new dishes. Unfortunately my father passed away in 2001 and took many of his recipes with him. Although i learnt a lot from him, i would have loved to have something written down to recreate his masterpieces :)
Recipezaar has given me the oportunity to ensure that my children, family and friends will always have access to my favourite recipes.
