Barbecued spare ribs

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds spare ribs
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 tablespoons rice wine
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground white pepper
• 2 tablespoons chicken stock
• freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste

Place spare ribs in a large baking dish in one layer. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over spare ribs and coat on both sides. Marinate overnight, basting occasionally.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place a large, shallow roasting pan on the oven bottom. Fill with 1/2 inch water. Place spare ribs on a roasting rack. Roast ribs for 45 minutes. Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees F, and roast for 15 more minutes. Serve hot or cold.
