I enjoy eating spare ribs to the point that I don’t mind how messy my hands are while indulging every bite. This recipe post is all about Asian Style Spare Ribs. It is a simple spare ribs dish that is full of flavor. I also liked how the meat got really tender.

My secret in making this Asian Spare Ribs really tasty comes from 2 sources: the marinade and the basting sauce. The marinade is composed of soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, pepper, and blackstrap molasses. It is something like my yummy pork belly marinade less the banana ketchup and made sweeter.The basting sauce is simply Hoisin sauce, nothing more.

Asian Spare Ribs_

I started out by marinating the pork spare ribs overnight. Doing this gives the meat the chance to absorb most of the flavor of the marinade. The additional flavor comes from the Hoisin sauce that I brushed over the ribs before roasting. That’s it! I know, it is very easy and you can surely do it too.

The secret to the fall-of-the-bone texture is the oval roaster that I am using. It looks like a cooking pot, only that it is used for roasting or baking. It is inexpensive and you can get it almost in any department store. The oval roaster has a cover which traps steam while baking or roasting. This keeps the meat moist and makes it tender overtime.

I had these yummy spare ribs with a cup white rice. I also tried this before with fries and chips and it works too.

    Is there a substitute for molasses? Can’t find it in my local store.

    I tried your recipe, but it didn’t come out like what you have in the picture. Mine had a mild bitter taste, and there was a lot of sauce. I’m guessing the bitter taste came from the lime, which I bought in Landmark supermarket. They were green and as big as lemons. By lime, did you mean calamansi?

      Hi Ana, the limes that I used are regular lime (I usually get Mexican limes from the grocery since these are more common). These are about the size of 2 to 3 medium calamansi combined. I think that you used “dayap”, which has a tart and bitter taste. Moving forward, I suggest that you use calamansi instead. I wish that I have access to calamansi anytime so that I can use it in most of my recipes.

    Can I just a crock pot instead of purchasing an oval roaster?

      Good question. The recipe is not intended for slow cookers because it does not have enough liquid ingredients to be able to cook the meat in there. I suggest that you cover a baking pan with aluminum foil while roasting so that the steam cannot escape.
