Recipe - Baked Spareribs With Potatoes

2 llb pork spareribs; up to 21/2
2 baking potatoes; cut into
: long wedges

~MARINADE FOR SPARERIBS
2 cloves minced garlic
2/3 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon nom yee; (red bean curd)
: optional
One fourth cup brown sugar; packed
One half cup tomato catsup
2 tablespoon rice wine; or dry sherry
One fourth cup honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Remove excess fat from bottom part of spareribs. Place slab of spareribs on
a cutting board and cut between bones about 1/2" so marinade soaks through
well. Place all marinade ingredients in a large bowl and mix together until
wellblended. Place ribs in a shallow pan and spread marinade on both
sides, and set for at least two hours (overnight is best.)

Pour enough water in the baking pan to 1" from bottom, but make sure it
does not touch the rack. Place spareribs on rack, meaty side up, and bake
at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn spareribs with leftover marinade, add
potatoes to the side of the pan, and bake for another 30 minutes. Turn
spareribs once again and switch to broil for the last 45 minutes (keep an
eye on the ribs) until spareribs have a nice glaze, almost burnt
appearance. Remove, cool for 1015 minutes to ease cutting up into
individual ribs. Serve with potatoes on the side.
