2
banks of spareribs, uncut, about 2 pounds each
3
cloves garlic, minced
1/2
cup ketchup
1/2
cup sweet bean sauce (hoi sin deung) or hoi sin sauce
1/2
cup soy sauce
1/4
cup sherry
Trim
off excess fat from the thick edges of spareribs. Place ribs
in
a shallow pan or platter. Mix remaining ingredients for a
marinade
and spread over both sides of the spareribs. Let stand
for
at least two hours.
Place
one oven rack at the top of the oven and one at the bottom.
Preheat
to 375F. Hook each bank of spareribs with 3 or 4 S-hooks
across
its width, on the thick edges, and suspend under top rack.
Place
a large pan with 1/2" water on bottom rack. This pan will
catch
the drippings and keep the meat from drying out. Cook
spareribs for about
45 minutes.
