bbq: Add bbq technique, favorite recipe for bbq sauce (if you make it), and any side dishes of other foods you prefer with ribs. Do you like regular or smoked, mild, spicy and hot bbq sauce? Do you prefer to make your own sauce or buy it? Which one?|||This is a recipe i use for my BBQ ribs i use soy sauce and i usually serve it with a twice baked jacket potato (you scoop out the potato just leaving the skin and then mix it with cheese and then scoop it back in the skin and bake in the oven until crispy) and a side salad with balsamic dressing. 1.Put the ribs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add the soy sauce and gently bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, take the pan off the heat and leave to cool for half an hour in the liquid. 2.Meanwhile make the marinade by putting the brown sugar and Shaoxing wine or sherry in a small pan and heat gently until the sugar has melted. 3.Add the ginger and the garlic and cook gently for 10 minutes. This will take away the rawness of the garlic. Add the rest of the marinade ingredients and give a good stir until everything is incorporated. Simmer for a couple more minutes then pour into a bowl and leave to cool. 4.Take the ribs from the pot and, while still warm, brush all over with the marinade. Refridgerate the remaining marinade for later on. Pack the ribs in a large tray or dish and put in the fridge. Leave overnight if you can, otherwise 2-3 hours will be OK. 5.Heat the barbecue. When the coals have died down but are still glowing, lay the ribs curved side down on the grill. Cook until coloured then turn, brush with more marinade and cook for 5 minutes. Turn, brush again and keep on cooking, they will take about 20-30 minutes to become sticky and burnished. 6.To cook in the oven put the ribs in 1 or 2 large roasting trays curved side up. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Roast for 30-40 minutes, brushing with marinade a few times during the cooking|||I like to bake them in the oven for about a half an hour first...then on the Bar-B-Q for about another half hour, basting them inbetween. I Love beans with my ribs, oh yeah, and mac and cheese and corn on the cob with REAL butter...yum!! And I make the best potato salad ever. (I know...all women say that!!) lol
