Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Prepare the Sauce Mixture: In a bowl, combine the garlic cloves (minced), thick soy sauce, dry sherry, sugar, and water. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a flavorful marinade for the spareribs.
-
Marinate the Spareribs: Place the spareribs in an ovenproof dish, ensuring they are arranged evenly. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the ribs, coating them thoroughly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to seal in the flavors and juices.
-
Marinate in the Refrigerator: Transfer the dish to the refrigerator and allow the spareribs to marinate for at least 5 hours. During this time, rotate the ribs occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated in the marinade, enhancing their flavor.
-
Preheat the Oven: Before cooking the spareribs, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for roasting.
-
Roast the Spareribs: Place the covered dish in the preheated oven and roast the spareribs for 25 minutes. After this initial cooking time, remove the aluminum foil to allow the ribs to develop a sticky glaze. Continue roasting until the sauce thickens and coats the ribs perfectly.
-
Serve or Freeze: Once cooked, you have the option to serve the spareribs immediately while they’re hot or freeze them for later use. If freezing, follow the steps below.
-
Freezing Instructions: To freeze the spareribs, lay them out individually on a cookie sheet. This prevents them from sticking together during freezing and makes it easier to portion them out later.
-
Store in Freezer-Proof Bag: Once the spareribs are frozen solid, transfer them to a large freezer-proof bag, ensuring they are well-sealed to prevent freezer burn. Label the bag with the date for future reference.
-
Reheat and Serve: When you’re ready to enjoy the spareribs, remove them from the freezer and place them on a cookie sheet. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), then bake the frozen ribs for about 15 minutes or until they are heated through.
