chia, thumbs up! Well, I came home to fix the ribs and found that my husband had already broiled them. So I put them in the pan and followed the directions, except I just simmered them in the sauce about 15 minutes, to let it cook down. Oh, so good! I wasn't able to find anise seeds, but when I find them I will make this again. The sauce was so good, I think I will try it on some tofu! Thanks for a truly delicious recipe!

Mmmmmmmmmm good!! I made up a mainade with the garlic cinnamon sticks,orange zest, sherry, cloves, ginger, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chilli sauce, thyme and chicken stock and set the pork ribs in it, in a plastic bag overnight. Didn't have any anise seed. Seared them as you said, then poured half the marinade over them and simmered for 15 minutes as instructed. Then poured more of the marinade over and cooked on low heat for about 1 hour. Perfect not too wet, but not too dry either, even had a little sauce left to glaze with upon serving. Enjoyed them very much!!great taste and will probably make them again. Thanks for sharing a keeper.

I sort of 'messed up' when I cooked this, but I'm putting in a review, neverheless, because the flavor is sooooo delicious, and because I have come to the conclusion it is virtually impossible to ruin it! I used pork spare ribs like Jan. I followed the recipe exactly until step 6, apart from doubling the sherry, soy sauce and vinegar. Then, without reading the instructions properly, I tossed in 2 cups of chicken stock, instead of 1/2 cup (bearing in mind I was doubling the sauce)! Uhh ooh. So, I simmered the ribs in all this fluid for about 30 minutes, then transferred them to an ovenproof dish in a single layer, spooned some of the sauce over, covered them with foil, and baked them at 350 F for 45 minutes, basting every now and then. Meanwhile, I simmered the remaining sauce on the stove. By the time the ribs were cooked, the sauce had cooked right down and was packed with flavor. I served the ribs with some of the sauce spooned over. They were a big hit with my family! Thanks Chia. This will be a favorite.

I used pork spare ribs-I'm not quite sure what "baby backs" even are. My pork spare ribs were so tender and delicious, I can't believe it. My only change to this recipe was to use Myer Lemon (a cross between oranges and lemon) for the zest, and fresh lemon thyme, which made it all taste a bit like the Japanese Ponzu sauce-one of my most favourite sauces.

This was not good for my family at all. We were expecting a sweet burst of flavor to compliment all the bitter and acidic flavors going on and never got it. I would say it's missing sugar in the ingredients list but everyone else seemed to like this, so obviously it's doing something for somebody as is... If you think "teriyaki" "pad thai" "sweet and sour" is what asian food should bring to mind then this recipe is not for you, however other people did enjoy it so don't let me talk you out of it if it looks good to u

latest update, as all my fb friends know i have been very ill for the past 4 mos, but now i am on the road ro recovery. i've had 2 surgeries and broke nt elbow a week after the first one, which basically incapacitatedme forr 2 mos. happy to say i am doing pt, anf will hopefully be able to cook again i stopped working so i could spend more time in my fla house renovating, but this was a minor setback, going to do the bathrooms this summer.   in NY i used to have an (at home) jewelry business, but i incorporated it into the store's gift dept., they sell it for me now. cooking is my passion, my hobby, my relaxation, but i love going out for a good meal anytime. being born and growing up in manhattan, ny gave me the opportunity to try many new foods over the years, in many great restaurants. and travelling with my dh enlightened me to the wonderful ingredients and cuisines of san francisco, among other places. the new corporate spouse deal is to do a day of cooking lessons/lunch, and shopping, so i have seen demo classes in ft lauderdale, san antonio, atlanta in the past few years plus taken a few cooking classes in chinese dim sum and noodles in joseph poon's, in philly. several years ago i had the pleasure of being on several of the food network shows, ready set cook and taste test, which was like food jeopardy. i didn't win either, but it was so much fun! and before that, i was on wheel of fortune! yes, with pat and vanna. i was the big winner, and i won a trip to hong kong for a week, somewhere i never would have seen otherwise- i have 4 daughters, 3 gkids and 1 on the way-- so far   last year we bought a home in fla, i love it there and next thing on the list id ripping up and renovating the 25 yr old kitchen though i have to say as a vacation home it is rather charming i collect cookbooks, read them like novels, i love murder/food novels by tamara myers, selma eichler, dianne mott davison,etc, and i love cooking gadgets as well.my kids tell me i am easy to shop for, lol, if it is food related they know i'll love it. <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/BtoBHosts.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img alt= /> src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Derfcookathon.jpg alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/FFFFlag.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/flagthorsten_1.jpg border=0 alt=Image hosting by Photobucket /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/completedbanner.gif alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/Switzerland-FFF4.gif alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT-ChallengeHostBanner.gif alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/SaltPepperSwap.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/mini.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza /> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket />
