Directions
Side ribs are cheaper than back ribs - there is lots of bone, but you can still get nice portions of meat.
Five-spice powder, available in Chinese grocery stores and supermarkets, is a mixture of cinnamon, fennel, cloves, star anise, and black pepper.
Cut ribs into small sections; trim fat.
In large saucepan, cover ribs with cold water.
Add onion and bay leaf. Bring to boil; simmer for 35 to 40 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain, discarding onion and bay leaf.
Sauce: Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine juice, honey, soy sauce, ginger, five-spice powder and garlic.
Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Arrange ribs in single layer in 13x9-inch baking dish .
Spoon sauce over top.
Bake in 350℉ (180℃) 180C oven, turning twice and basting occasionally, for 30 to 35 minutes or until ribs are glazed and sauce is thickened and sticky.
6 servings for $7.
