Every recipe is tested for the home cook and wholesomeness of the meal. Since I am the cook and people seem to like what I prepare, this recipe fills the bill. My Community Meeting just got another addition as well.
Been watching for years and have used many of your recipes and tips. Everybody thinks I’m a great cook
But little do they know I’m just following your directions. Thanks for all the great meals you guys have provided (with me cooking) over the years myself and my family have enjoyed many meals and made many many memories

This recipe is a keeper for sure. It's not too hard to do, the video explains everything nicely, the ribs are really good. More, please.
I cooked these ribs according to this recipe and BOY!!! My family felt like we had ordered out! LOL!! We served wtih rice and brocolli pouring the glaze over everything eventually! LOL! I am keeping this recipe from now on to cook ribs a different way to supplement the southern style.
Around here the full spare rib rack is about 1/2 the price per pound as the St Louis style cut ribs. Just more busy work for the butcher or grocery meat market folks. If you get a full spare rib rack, cut them down to the St Louis style yourself. Easy enough to do. Then we cut up the other meat into serving size pieces and toss them in the pot along with the cut ribs. You just get that much more of these to eat. And that's a good thing!!
Love this recipe, only we make one small change. First time I made this I followed the recipe to a tee and when we ate them felt that the 5 spice was to overwhelming so instead of 2 teaspoons I only used one the second time I made this. That was absolutely delicious.
I'm the same. I can't taste anything else. Any recipe using five spice, I always cut it in half or less. Just too overpowering for me.
I did this and HOLY CRAP, they were really, really good. Thanks for doing this.
Oh that looks so good 😋
Must try this recipe looks very good 😊.
Does ATK deliver?
i just made these ribs last night in the Instant pot, 8 min and 15 natural release. I used your exact ingredients and they turned out great! Might have been overdone for the chew factor you were going for so you can back it off for that. Nonetheless, the flavors of these ribs were amazing!
What's an Instant Pot..?
I’m making some tomorrow, good receipt! Well presented.
Those ribs are looking so delicious and I have cooked some on my grill, in the oven, and in my Instant Pot and those coming out of the Instant Pot was the best I cooked. In each case the ribs are finished up being broiled in the oven for about 10 minutes which was perfect. I have never eaten Chinese barbecued ribs before, but may try cooking them.
How many minutes did you pressure cook them for?
I've found that the remainder of the glaze MUST be put into a ramekin and made available to my housemates. They DEMAND sauce on their ribs. A glaze is not enough.
Yup. Just made these. This is the way to go. braising > glaze > brown
Can’t wait to make this! Looks yummy 😋
Sounds yummy.
I only have one thing to say. These Chinese bbq spare ribs are the best mo'fos I've ever tasted. Come for some ribs on Monday. I should have them done by then.
It's been 3 years, but I'm still coming this Monday
Delicious
These ribs are Chinese char siu style ribs... so delicious and tasty!
I saw this on America's Test Kitchen in 2019 and I have made it several times.
Family and friends have asked for the recipe and now I can just send them the link to this video!
NO marinating for several hours, NO pre-oven cooking for several hours, NO turning over to baste.
Thanks to Factotum for posting the recipe for others to use.
I've always used dry sherry since I did not have Chinese rice wine.
So is saying Chinese style spare ribs racist nowadays? I don't like living in this world where everything is waycist.
@@Moose803 They are delicious Chinese char siu style ribs...
@@wowyoudidgreat yes they are
@@Moose803🙄
I had ribs at the famous Wo hop Chinese restaurant in New York (Americanized Chinese food). I was shocked that the ribs there were actually better than the famous BBQ restaurants in the South
Dan! 😍
Brilliant video
I will cook this on New Year’s eve.
Oh yes please! I'm on 7 day peel a pound soup and then these will be made in this kitchen 🙏🌹❤ great job Dan. Love from BC 🇨🇦
Wow❤
These are the bomb! So tasty
Thank you.
Trying this today
If you cut the ribs from the bottom, you can see where to cut and leave equal amount of meat on each rib.
Tony l thought that as well, seems like they DO know they are on TV?!
Badabing Badaboom, that looks delicious!!! I’ll have to try to make this is the near future!!! ☮️🖖🏽
These look like the best, *spare* none!
Ribs came out yummy.
Hi, can I please have re recipe for the Chinese ribs? The link does not allow you access unless you become a member. Thanks
I got it off UA-cam I just typed in Chinese barbecue spareribs and sent the video to my iCloud so I’m able to watch it whenever I need to or copy it
Doing the ribs right now. Got them on the stove next the oven then history.
Totally in love with Julia!😍
YUMMY 😋
I love the show..🎉🎉
Love these recipes. Thanks
I always buy St.Luis spareribs❣️I'd love to see Korean Bar Bee Que rib recipe
These look CRAZY delish !!!
Can also put in the fridge or freezer, out on the back yard table for a short time to separate the fat (3:50) faster.
if u notice no one is sweating around all that cooking, the AC is craked up in there, the oil gets cold easily.
Look really good!
My mouth is watering!
I made these twice so far and neither time tasted like Chinese ribs to me or my husband. They taste good but they’re missing something to make them taste Chinese.
Why bother posting the link to the recipe if it can't be viewed? What happened to unlocking it for a few days after posting a video?
I don't feel entitled to get everything for free in life, so I think it's a very nice gesture from ATK to share the recipe at all. I'm glad they bother to do so on UA-cam, because I can grab a piece of paper and a pen and write the recipe down for future reference. May I suggest you try doing that too? If you can be bothered to do that it'll take you as long as the duration of the video and it'll still be for free.
@@RobertPeters4674
Exactly what money did they make by airing a show without commercial sponsorship on a non-commercial public broadcasting station? There are several ways they raise revenue, but creating shows for PBS is not one of them.
People are always looking for a handout everywhere and anywhere. If you don't want to pay the $1 then find a free recipe elsewhere or just watch the FREE video and analyze the recipe.
@@RobertPeters4674 Lol So why are you here if Food Network has the recipes for free? Did you know that every business and company makes money from different outlets besides sponsors and viewers? It's already enough that they even give us a FREE video of the recipe. If you're too lazy to watch the video then pay the price for being lazy.
Donations don't entitle you to anything Robert. That is money that you chose to donate for a cause, not in exchange for special favors and treatment. The world doesn't revolve around you and no one owes you anything. If that's how you think about donations, you shouldn't be donating at all.
@@jimmyheb Agreed. People are always looking for a handout everywhere and anywhere cus they're too lazy to learn through observation and research. I mean, the video is right there for FREE! lol I'm pretty sure we all have time right now especially during quarantine to sit through a video and learn new things.
I prefer to learn these recipes through demonstration and jot notes in my phone or paper then reanalyze everything to change it up to my liking.
I’m Chinese and this is pebu approved lol.
Also, Dan Souza looks more delicious.
Can I substitute beef back ribs instead of pork? Will it taste as good?
These look pretty good, i'm fortunate enough to have an upright smoker/grill, so i can cook these the true chinese way by hanging them vertically on hooks & grilling them over the fire, the chinese do not smoke their's.
Steve Logan oof smoked sounds so good. Lucky you!
@@laurasui875 thank you ma'am, i'm 57 yr. old Irishman from rural Kentucky & i do most of the cooking at home, i have several smokers & the upright one is great for vertical hanging of chinese style ribs, it has racks for smoking horizontally also. btw, it works well for smoking fish which is delicious among other things. If you are interested, the brand name of the smoker/grill is king kooker( it is spelled kooker), cost is appx. $ 200.00
Yum yum. 👍
You had me at a LOT of garlic and ginger.
I’ve made this and it tastes amazing BUT it’s way TOO much sauce which is quite wasteful! I use 5lbs of ribs and halve the recipe and it’s still saucy. The last step of broiling is unnecessary. Just cook for 50 mins and it’s perfect. It reduces down to coat ribs quite nicely. Also I highly recommend searing the ribs first to seal in the blood so it doesn’t make the sauce produce “dirty” foam. The sauce recipe is truly delicious and yummy sweet!
Cutting the ribs for "more surface area for the glaze"..... (which makes sense), but l would definitely take that membrane off, since it acts as kind of a barrier, keeping flavoring from penetrating the meat. Still, even with the membrane left on this looked great!
reomving membrane is a white. asians aint never heard of that....
Like the Bruce Lee movie restaurant scene
Has anyone tried in a slow cooker??
Ok so I don't eat pork. Can I substitute beef ribs in this recipe? Would it be the same?
I was wondering the same...
No it wouldn't, different meats have different flavor profiles, even different cuts from the same animal. And for the record, you're missing out, thanks for leaving more for me!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I can't make out the spice, fire starter? 5 starter? ANy help would be appreciated.
5 spice
五香
That is some serious work
Do spareribs and blackbean sauce please.. dim sum
Could you use some red wine instead of food coloring? Or chili oil?
food coloring is to enhance the 'color'. If you add red wine or chili oil, you'd be changing the flavor of the ribs! But, it's just a recipe. No, doubt, you're free to amend it however you please
Just leave it out. It will be as red, but it will taste the same.
Red food coloring is for color. In the old days red velvet cake they used beet juice for the color. Minus the red food coloring if you want don't add red wine because you will change the flavor.
So so.
Has anyone tried this recipe with any other cuts of pork? I love ribs, but I have a ton of pork butt in my freezer that I bought on sale and I'm wondering if it would work for this. Maybe trim off some fat, cube it up, and cook in a similar way?
That's what they sell as "country style boneless ribs"
People are complaining about paying to see a recipe when the video of the recipe is right here for FREE lol
Pure laziness...
...and entitlement too.
@@josephineroe8424 I mean, they make monthly donations to the network this company was on so they're entitled to special treatment and favors...right? lol
Because they used to have the recipe at the link available for free, at the posted link, for the first day or so after they posted the video on UA-cam, until literally days ago. Now, suddenly, with no announcement or acknowledgement they changed it.
Why don't you get off your righteous indignation horse when you've got 0 idea what other, obviously more knowledgeable fans, are legitimately asking about?
do what I did, buy the book, every recipe from every show they ever did, it's 20 bucks, for another 20 bucks I got Cooks Country Too, every recipe, every show, just keep up with the new episodes.
Gorgeous bunka, Dan
easiest way to skim fat is to put it in the refrigerator then scrape it.
Boy she got that bone clean and didn't even have glaze on her face😂 but they do look good.
Of course they're killer ribs. He put poison in the sauce .
I heard that.
Does he specialize in Asian cuisine? He does quite a bit of them.
The ribs and the glaze turned out beautiful, nice and glossy and full of flavor, but a little too sweet and a little too salty for me.
This is not braised. It’s boiled
Goodbye, no marination?
Dan😛😛😛😛😛😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
@1:10 "the best way is to look down here"? The best way is to turn the rack over and actually see where the bones are. Yikes!
😂
You can see the bones from that angle too. When I cut them perpendicular, the cut is uneven, one side may have exposed bone.
When you lay them down flat you can better ensure there's meat evenly on both sides.
At least that's been my experience.
Julia is a hottie. Would follow whatever she recommends.
ATK needs to change their camera. Looks like a video from the 90s
Looks fantastic but way too much work for me
"it's so easy" when ya have all the stuff pre measured
Fall apart is overcooked. And why is that ginger fluorescent-yellow?
Another, more authentic red, instead of the red food colouring?
Maraschino (or other) dark Cherry juice, put through a juicer. The colour, the sweetness... all natural.
Or annatto
Even in China char siu sauce can often contain some red food coloring.
Usually in authentic Chinese recipe they would put red bean curd.
Chuck a beet in.
If you want to change the flavor of the whole dish....sure, Julia Child said, and I misquote, but the sentiment is correct, " If don't want to make it correctly, make something else."
Why do you charge for the recipe?
What brand 5 spice ya'll use?
😍😍😍
I'm sorry but anybody that doesn't take that membrane off is in a less then favorable position in my book, but I just won't use this recipe either... also in my personal opinion it isn't hard and it only takes seconds all you nee to do is get you knife under enough of the membrane for you to grip with a towel in your hand(the towel helps with extra grip) the just evenly pull until the membrane comes off in a single sheet.
You tell em Karen! Maybe ask for the manager too!
@@citizncain I don't think I am understanding this comment. But I hope you enjoyed the video and the channel as much as I do. And that you are staying safe although we may finally be past the worst of it. 😜 thank you for you time.
I've been BBQing ribs all my life, I come from KCMO, I don't remove the membrane, it's not necessary, thank you for your whine, you shouldn't try any recipe that does anything different than you do, that's smart, you'll avoid ....new things, new flavors, new textures, you can sit there and gripe and nitpick, and feel smug. Happy New Year
He so hot dam
Did Julia say 'so easy'? I love to cook but between the many steps and the list of ingredients, I think I'll do take out.
What are country style pork ribs? They don't look like ribs at all, but they are typically cheap at my local grocer
Hi Tony. My brother is a butcher and I've asked him this very thing in the past wanting a more specific answer. Country-style ribs are cut from the blade end of the pork loin, close to the pork shoulder. They are meatier than other rib cuts. They contain no actual "rib bones", but instead contain parts of the shoulder blade. They are thicker and have more fat than the spare or baby back rib. Country ribs are also regionally known as "western ribs". Hope this helps.
I thought clamato would work well in this recipe
Thumbs down. And for anyone sending it's viewers to a pay wall.
Ribs shouldn't be fall off bone anyway
Great, we're in a meat shortage, maybe you could post some Chinese recipes with meat alternatives.
What are you thinking? Cat? Dog?
Have to pay to see the recipe? WTF is this?
Why on earth would they give it to you for free? Oh wait, they did, by sharing this video with you. How about you grab a pen and a piece of paper and write the recipe down while watching the video?
A business lol
It's nothing new.
@@carowells1607 Actually, it is. The recipe on the site was free for the first day or so after they posted the video to UA-cam. This changed days ago.
no to food coloring
Why don’t people wash their hands after touching raw meat?
I literraly EAT raw meat, have you never heard of EDITING???
@@drwgisblaidd have you never heard of washing your hands after touching raw meat??
@@christinebailey9935 they edit out the hand washing generally, because you don't waste time filming things that aren't RELEVANT, to a TV show, because airtime isn't cheap, and they have things to do that people WANT to watch. try thinking.
@@drwgisblaidd thanks for the answer. Makes sense.
A GREAT RECIPE BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE. EVERY INGREDIENT IN CHINESE COOKING SHOULD BE AUTHENTIC. IF IT'S NOT BOUGHT AT A REAL CHINESE GROCERY STORE AND AUTHENTIC. THE TASTE WILL BE TERRIBLE. GENERIC SAUCES HAVE DOZENS OF INGREDIENTS IN THEM THAT SPOIL THE REAL FLAVOR!!
Commenting in ALL CAPS is just rude. And if you demand absolute "authenticity," fine. The rest of us will just make and enjoy these.
Red food coloríng??? smh
I like your recipes and Dan, but your format is so dated with the fake acting and smiling..
"Barbequed"
Sorry, don’t like the Chinese style. Prefer the tender American version.
Did you watch just to complain?
Becoming a CCP Channel
Probably need to do a better job on your thumbnails and titles... "Chinese BBQ Spareribs" in the image thumbnail, "how to make barbecued spareribs at home" in the video title and in the description "Chinese-style barbecued ribs" is a mess. Will there be a "European BBQ Ribs" video in the future?
Considering when something is labeled as X-style, it means that whatever is X is known for it.
The Chinese are VERY much known for that style of rib. The Europeans don't really have a style that's well known pretty much everywhere.
They got European style butter in America though, if that makes you feel any better.......
@@lordgarion514 I like you, you said it straight. The Germans can cook a mean pig though...
@@drwgisblaidd Yeah, but the Germans cook their spare ribs with sauerkraut. Definitely not the same. lolol
Ya meant Covid - 19 Chinese Death BBQ.
