Indulge in the rich and exotic flavors of Tamarind-Glazed Pork Spareribs. These succulent ribs are seasoned, baked to perfection, and generously coated with a sweet and tangy tamarind glaze, creating a delightful culinary experience.
Ingredients: 2 racks pork spareribs. Salt and black pepper to taste. For the Tamarind Glaze:. 1/2 cup tamarind paste. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 2 tablespoons honey. 2 tablespoons brown sugar. 2 tablespoons rice vinegar. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon grated ginger. 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 325F 163C. Prepare the pork spareribs by removing the membrane from the back and seasoning both sides with salt and black pepper. In a small saucepan, combine tamarind paste, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens. Place the seasoned spareribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush the ribs with the tamarind glaze, reserving some for later basting. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours, basting with the tamarind glaze every 30 minutes, until the ribs are tender and caramelized. Once done, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing between the bones. Serve the Tamarind-Glazed Pork Spareribs, drizzling with any remaining glaze, and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. Pair with your favorite sides for a delicious and memorable meal.
