• 2 T dry sherry

• 1/2 T sesame oil
• 1/3 tsp each cinnamon, ginger, ground fennel, anise, and clove (or 1/2 tsp 5 spice powder)

• Tabasco to taste
• 1 T ketchup
• 2 to 3 lbs pork spareribs

Preparation

Step 1

Mix well all the ingredients except ribs. Use to marinate the ribs for 2 hours in fridge.

Place on a roasting rack in a 350 oven for 1 hour. Turn tem up to 400 and raost for an additional 15 minutes or until browned and deliciously tender. Its a good idea to place a baking pan containing about 1" of water in the oven beneath the ribs as they cook, it will prevent the sauce from drippig the the floor of the oven.
