Filipino Ribs Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

2 ½ kilo pork spareribs

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 medium onions, cut into wedges

¼ tsp. ground black pepper

6 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

6 whole star anise pods

 ½ cup honey

1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

1 tbsp. lemon juice

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp. brown sugar


INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place ribs in a 5 to 6 quart stock pot with the 2 wedged onions, 4 tablespoons of soy

sauce, pepper and star anise. Bring all to a boil. Reduced heat to medium low, cover

and let simmer in meat juices until ribs are tender when pierced, about 1 ¼ hours. Stir

occasionally.

2. 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 remaining2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Cook all

together, stirring, until well blended. Remove from heat.

3. Preheat oven to 4000 F (2000C).

4. Using tongs, remove ribs from stock pot and arrange in a single layer in an 11x16 inch

baking dish. Brush evenly with the honey mixture and bake in the preheated oven,

basting often with pan drippings, about 30 minutes or until ribs are well glazed.
