Crispy ribs with plum sauce
5 lbs. spare ribs
3 lbs. fresh plums, cut into wedges
3 Tbl. soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbl. cornstarch
1 1/2 Tbl. sugar
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut ribs into 5 or 6 sections and place in a single layer in a large roasting pan.
Bake ribs covered, at 350 for 30 minutes
Process plums in a blender or processor until smooth.
Bring plum puree, soy sauce, and next 4 ingredients to a boil stirring constantly, 8 to 10 minutes until mixture
is clear and thick.
Reserve half the mixture for dipping, and brush ribs with rest of sauce.
Grill ribs or bake uncovered in oven for 30 minutes until done, turning and basting every 6 minutes. If doing in oven, broil the last few minutes to get that BBQ look.
