I made this recipe tonight and it was a hit! I had some extra baby back ribs from a barbeque a while back that I just never got around to preparing and I saw this recipe, decided to give it a go, and was very happy with the result. I had to make a few alterations/substitutions given what I had on hand (had to use powdered ginger instead of sliced root, minced garlic instead of the clove, and I didn't have any of the seasoning sauce so I just omitted), but I had everything else and prepped it as written. It was really easy to do, made the house smell amazing, and the ribs were super flavorful and could be easily pulled off the bone. My wife and 19 month old daughter loved it. I'll definitely be making it again!
Just a small note that if you're following the recipe, at number 7, don't forget to add the Hoisin and Oyster sauce (and Rice Vinegar if you have it/plan on adding it). It says to "add the rest of the ingredients" and if you're more clever than I and did your mise en place (aka have all your ingredients in front of you and ready to go), then you won't get confused about that step. I was a tad too literal referencing the ingredient list with the ingredient sheet at step 7 and wondering when to add the sauces. Add *everything* then and boil it down.
Pair it with some white rice and a green of your choice (sauteed broccoli with soy sauce, ground ginger, and brown sugar is an easy go-to for me) and you've got a delicious dinner ready to go. Another great thing about this dish is that all the prep work is pretty much entirely on the front end, so if you time the rice and side well, you can have the entire meal ready as soon as the ribs finish! Thank you for the recipe!
