Anyway we were at the store and Fly Boy picks up a huge chunk o' fatty meat and said he wanted it for dinner so I obliged. This recipe was super easy and super yummy. I found it at www.epicurious.com.
- 4 pounds country-style pork ribs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger (I used 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves) (I used 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- Special equipment: an 11- by 17-inch flameproof roasting pan
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F. Sprinkle ribs evenly with salt. Bring orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and pepper to a boil in roasting pan over moderately high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add ribs in 1 layer using tongs, turning to coat, and cover pan tightly with foil. Braise ribs in oven until very tender, about 2 hours.
Before serving:
Reduce oven temperature to 200°F.Transfer ribs to a baking dish, arranging them in 1 layer, and keep warm in oven. Skim fat from cooking liquid if desired, then make glaze by boiling liquid, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Brush glaze generously on ribs.
