Pork Side Ribs with Hoisin Chili Glaze

Makes 4 https://www.thriftyfoods.com/recipes/recipes/pork-side-ribs-with-hoisin-chili-glaze

Ingredients:

• 2 3/4 lb. pork spare (side) ribs, trimmed of excess fat
• Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 1/4 cups beer or apple juice
• 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup dry sherry
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1–2 tsp. hot Asian-style chili sauce, or to taste
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger
• 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cut the pork into 2 to 3 bone pieces. Place the ribs, meaty-side up, in a single layer on a large, sided baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Pour the beer or juice into the bottom of the pan. Cover and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the ribs are very tender, and then remove from the oven.
2. Preheat you barbecue to medium-high. Combine the remaining ingredients, except green onion, in a small pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer 3 minutes, and then cover and reserve on low heat.
   Grill the ribs 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until nicely charred. Turn the ribs meaty-side up and baste with half the hoisin mixture. Close the lid and cook 5 minutes more. Transfer the ribs to a platter, drizzle with the remaining hoisin mixture, sprinkle with green onions and serve.
