Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 pound pork spareribs
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste (Optional)
¼ teaspoon five-spice powder, or to taste (Optional)
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste (Optional)
2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring, or to taste (Optional)
½ cup barbecue sauce, or to taste
Directions
Mix salt and sugar together in a small bowl. Sprinkle all over ribs. Coat with red pepper flakes, five-spice powder, and black pepper. Slide ribs into a large vacuum-seal bag; pour in liquid smoke. Seal.
Immerse bag in a heat-proof container of water with a sous vide cooker. Set temperature to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C); cook for 8 hours.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the broiler. Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
Pull ribs out of the bag; spread onto the prepared baking sheet and brush with barbeque sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and continue baking until other side bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Cook’s Note
If you’re lazy like I am, just throw the pork in the bag, add the salt and sugar, and spread it around the best you can. It probably doesn’t get distributed quite as well, but I’ve rarely had a problem doing it this way.
You can use any additional spices you like, and feel free to use your favorite barbecue sauce. This Bourbon Whiskey BBQ Sauce recipe is great.
