Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
6 pounds pork spareribs
2 medium onions, cut into wedges
6 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 whole star anise pods
½ cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Place ribs in a large stock pot with the 2 wedged onions, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, pepper, and star anise pods. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and let simmer in meat juices until ribs are tender when pierced, about 1 ¼ hours. Stir occasionally.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add remaining chopped onion and sauté, stirring often, until onion is soft. Blend in the ginger, honey, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Cook all together, stirring, until well blended. Remove from heat.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Using tongs, remove ribs from the stock pot and arrange in a single layer in an 11×16-inch baking dish. Brush evenly with honey mixture and bake in the preheated oven, basting often with pan drippings, about 30 minutes or until ribs are well glazed.
Recipe Tip
Star anise is available at all Asian markets as well as many grocery stores.
