Barbecue spare ribs recipes for your delight and delectation. The essential TIP for a great ribs – cook as one whole rack. Don’t be tempted to buy individual ribs, you’ll be forever turning them and they dry out.

Start with the rack of ribs and you’ll be amazed at the difference, they’re so much more succulent.

Both barbecue spare ribs recipes take about 30 mins to prepare the sauce so light the barbecue now!

My Chinese Barbecue Sauce Recipe

Just throw all the ingredients below into a pan and heat up, simmer for 20 minutes and you’re there.

Ingredients:-

• 6 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (white wine vinegar OK too)
• 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 3 tablespoon honey
• 4 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger crushed
• 1/8 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

Remember, this BBQ sauce is high in honey and therefore will burn easily. Make sure you bbq on medium coals, (gently does it) and brush on the sauce towards the end of cooking.

Sweet and Sour Style Barbecue Sauce Recipe

• 2 tablespoons groundnut oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped

Fry the garlic and onion lightly for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Then throw in the rest of the ingredients:-

• 1 x 440g cans chopped tomatoes
