I'm going to go ahead and throw out an apology for the lack of posting. I'm on a critical care rotation and Jake is doing cardiology. They're both very demanding. I leave the house around 6:30am and I usually don't get home til about 10pm. Jake's schedule is very similar. There isn't much cooking going on these days. Look for a return to life at the end of this month when I get a break.

Lacquer-Roasted Pork Ribs



Here's one from the Professional Chef.
You need:
Rack of ribs
tbsp dark soy sauce
tbsp sherry

for the marinade:
60 mL Hoisin sauce
45 ml black bean sauce
90 ml ketchup
minced garlic
minced ginger
a little white pepper
green onions, sliced
15 ml rice vinegar
10 ml sesame oil
salt
sugar

Lacquer Coating:
30 ml honey
tsp sesame oil

Combine the soy sauce and sherry and brush over the ribs.
Combine marinade ingredients and pour over the ribs. Massage the marinade into the meat, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Turn occasionally.


Take the ribs out of the fridge at least an hour before ready to cook them to allow them to come up to room temp. Remove the ribs from the marinade and wipe off excess. Place on a wire rack in a roasting pan.
Fill another pan with water and place it in the oven on 325 degF.
Roast the ribs for ~ 1.5 hours.
Combine the honey and sesame oil for the coating. During the last 20 minuts of roasting, brush the ribs with the mixture. At this point you can crank the oven up to broil for a couple minutes to give a nice, crisp outer skin. Remove the ribs and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
This recipe doesn't call for a sauce, but you may want to reduce the drippings in the roasting pan to make one.
