Pork ribs. This is one of those times when you must talk to your butcher and tell him or her that you need meaty pork ribs. You can choose spare ribs or baby back ribs. Just make sure that you leave the meat shop with very meaty ribs in your shopping bag.
Once you have your pork ribs in your kitchen, separate the ribs. Doing so will surround each rib with that sticky and sweet sauce. Also, separating the ribs will expose more of the ribs to heat.
Hoisin Sauce. Hoisin sauce is also known as Chinese barbecue sauce. In Chinese cuisine, this pungent sauce is usually added to marinades, dips, stir-fried dishes, and grilled dishes. It is a mixture composed of vinegar, fermented soy, sweetener, chili, and garlic. Hoisin sauce is thick, sticky, and dark.
Taste it on its own and you will find it slightly sweet, salty, and exploding with all those well-combined Asian flavors. It is an acquired taste, but Hoisin sauce is always incorporated into traditional Vietnamese and Chinese dishes.
If you like Asian food, Hoisin sauce is the right barbecue sauce for you. If this is the first time you have Hoisin sauce in your dish, use a small amount and dilute it with a bit of oil or water.
Ketchup. Hoisin sauce is not enough to make the sauce perfectly flavorful and sticky You should add ketchup to it but this is optional. In this recipe, I omitted the ketchup and it turned out perfectly delicious. Ketchup is a tangy and sweet sauce made from vinegar, spices, seasonings, sweetener, and tomatoes.
Some ketchup recipes include ginger, onions, coriander, cinnamon, celery, allspice, mustard, cloves, garlic, and cumin. Ketchup is a common condiment for greasy or fried foods such as sandwiches, French fries, hot dogs, tater tots, hamburgers, meat pies, chicken tenders, fried meat, cooked eggs, and grilled meat. Because it is sweet and tangy, it is a great addition to the special sauce for this recipe.
Sriracha sauce. This is a type of chili sauce or hot sauce, made from a paste that consists of salt, chili peppers, garlic, distilled vinegar, and sugar. It may have been a condiment, created at local restaurants in Si Racha, situated in the Chonburi Province of Eastern Thailand.
This was believed to have been the reason it was named Sriracha. In Vietnam, it is a condiment for fried noodles, phở, sauces, and spring rolls. In Thailand, Sriracha is a dip for seafood. You can put Sriracha on everything. It makes food spicier. The sticky sauce in this recipe needs spiciness and Sriracha always delivers.
Go ahead and impress with this mouth-watering yet straightforward dish. There is nothing more comforting than sticky sweet, tender pork ribs to go home to after a hectic work week.

Is ketchup ( what we call tomato sauce in South Africa) the same as barbecue sauce? Can one use ketchup instead of barbecue sauce in your recipe?
I love easy recipes and this one made my day. Perfect for backyard gatherings.
