There are more food holidays than we can count, but this one – Cook Something Bold Day – is the perfect opportunity to share one of our favorite new recipes from Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort.
A day designed to encourage us to cook something bold and daring, this recipe takes a little time, but you’ll be rewarded with these messy, savory ribs. Once we tossed in the sauce, we ended with a quick broil for an extra-crispy finish.
Hoisin Chili Sticky Spare Ribs Recipe
Makes 16 ribs
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Place ribs in baking pan and add onion, ginger, garlic, cooking wine and oil. Cover with water, then gently stir in tamarind paste.
- Cover with foil and bake 3 ½ hours or until meat easily pulls away from the bone.
- Remove from oven and cool in braising liquid until cool enough to handle. Slice into individual ribs.
- Whisk together ingredients in a mixing bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat oil to 350°F.
- Lightly coat each rib in cornstarch and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place on a wire rack to drain and cool slightly.
- Toss with hoisin chili sauce, topped with cilantro and serve immediately. (We put them back under the broiler for a few minutes to get extra crisp.)
Always use caution when handling sharp objects and hot contents. Please supervise children who are helping or nearby.
