I'd love to find some new recipes using country-style pork ribs, any faves to share? My go-to is the

southwestern country ribs in tomatillo sauce posted here at FK but I've made them so many times that I need a break from that recipe for a while. ;o)

 
Braised Hoisin. I posted these years ago, so maybe you've already tried them.

BAKED PORK RIBS WITH HOISIN BARBECUE SAUCE

If you prefer to grill the ribs — which will intensify the hoisin flavor — remove them from the marinade (do not bake) and grill them over medium heat until tender and lightly charred, turning often and basting occasionally with marinade, about 25 minutes. Look for chili-garlic sauce in the Asian foods section of supermarkets.


4 pounds baby back pork ribs
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup bottled chili sauce
1/4 cup Sherry
4 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil

Place ribs in large roasting pan. Pierce meat with fork. Sprinkle with Chinese five-spice powder and onion powder; rub mixture into meat.
Whisk remaining ingredients in small bowl to blend. Pour sauce over ribs, turning to coat. Turn ribs meat side down; cover pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake ribs, covered, until just tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and turn ribs meat side up; bake until ribs are cooked through, basting occasionally, about 35 minutes. Cut meat between bones to separate ribs and serve.

No, it's in the background. The garlic and ginger really balance everything out.

The Cola really is just a tenderizer. I would say it has a very Asia type flavor. I thicken it at the end and server over rice. It is really good Pat.

 
Marc in Seattle swears by these: Oola's Crispy Deep Fried Ribs

You should hear Marc gush about how awesome these ribs are!

Oola’s Crispy Deep-Fried Ribs
ACTIVE TIME: 45 MIN
TOTAL TIME: 3 HRS
SERVES: 6

One reason Oola's ribs are so impossibly good is that they're braised for hours and then deep-fried so they're supercrisp. The sauce—which includes ketchup and plenty of garlic—was originally concocted for chicken wings.

ingredients
14 large garlic cloves—8 peeled and smashed, 6 minced

1/2 cup sliced fresh ginger plus 1/4 cup minced (6 ounces total)

6 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated

4 star anise pods

3 cups soy sauce

2 quarts water

2 cups ginger ale

1/2 cup dry white wine

Strips of zest and juice from 1 navel orange

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup cilantro stems plus 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

3 racks of baby back ribs (5 1/2 pounds)

1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for frying

2 cups lightly packed brown sugar

1 cup ketchup

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch




directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°. In a large roasting pan, combine the smashed garlic with the sliced ginger, scallion whites, star anise, 1 1/2 cups of the soy sauce, the water, ginger ale, white wine, orange zest and juice, granulated sugar and cilantro stems. Set the pan over 2 burners and bring to a boil over moderately high heat.

2. Add the baby back ribs to the roasting pan, cover tightly with foil and bake for about 2 hours, or until the ribs are very tender. Let cool to room temperature, then spread the ribs out in a single layer on a baking sheet and refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 30 minutes. Discard the braising liquid.

3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger and the scallion greens and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of soy sauce, the brown sugar, ketchup and crushed red pepper and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the chopped cilantro. Transfer the rib sauce to a large bowl.

4. In a large, sturdy pot, heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil to 375°. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the cornstarch. Cut the racks into individual ribs. Toss the ribs in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Working in batches, fry the ribs until the coating is lightly golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer the ribs to paper towels to drain briefly, then add them to the sauce in the bowl and toss to coat. Pile on a platter and serve hot.

MAKE AHEAD The recipe can be prepared through Step 3; refrigerate the ribs and sauce separately for up to 2 days.

NOTES Cocktail Match Cosmopolitan with a splash of watermelon juice.

WINE Zinfandel, with its voluptuous berry-driven flavor and modest tannins, makes a nice match for these equally over-the-top ribs. While the greatest Zinfandels are often single-vineyard wines from ancient vines, some moderately priced California Zins instead gain complexity by blending fruit from different regions. The 2002 Artezin recalls spiced blackberries; the 2003 Cline California Zinfandel balances firm tannins and cherry flavors.

I made something similar over the weekend. REC: Spicy Chinese Pork Tenderloin

I made this for a birthday party, but I ended making the recipe more like your rib recipe, with sesame oil and mirin. It turned out really good, nice and moist. I only marinated it for about 6 hours, and it would have been much better if I had marinated it overnight. The ribs sound really good. I had the leftovers in a flour tortilla with hoisin, green onions, cilantro and some slaw.

Spicy Chinese Pork Tenderloin Recipe #90325

This easy recipe is one of my favorite dinners for company. Leaving out the red pepper flakes, makes it a dish for anyone. Presented on a platter over rice, it looks very appealing. It is equally as good made on the grill, or in the oven.
It originally came from a syndicated column in our local newspaper. Prep time includes marinading.

nope, I wouldn't do that. I have some full lead Coke to use up, and this is perfect!

I bet this combo would be good with beef and even chicken.

 
YUM! Mad this last night. Added crushed red pepper flakes towards the end of the braise.

So easy! Thanks for a keeper!

 
Oh my...I almost had to pick myself up off the floor! LOL I guess persistence

does pay off. I'm glad you tried it Traca and the red pepper flakes sound like a great idea. Will do next time I make it. Thanks for trying it. smileys/wink.gif)
