Function: BAKE

Temperature: 350˚F (175˚C)

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 1 rack of ribs

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup plum sauce ½ cup hoisin sauce

¼cup low sodium soy sauce

¼cup oyster sauce

¼cup honey

2 tablespoons minced ginger

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 tablespoon orange rind

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (optional)

1 rack of pork back ribs

METHOD

PREPARE THE MARINADE

1.In a medium sized bowl, combine plum sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, cider vinegar, orange rind, hot pepper sauce (optional). Refrigerate until ready to use.

2.Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare the ribs by trimming visible fat.

3.Remove the white membrane from the underside of the rack by pulling it from one side and tearing it off. Removing the membrane allows the marinade to penetrate through the meat.

4.Once the water begins to boil, gently place the ribs into the boiling water. Turn the heat to medium/low and boil the ribs for 25-30 minutes. This process will draw out the fat.

5.Remove the ribs from the water using a set of tongs, and rinse under cool running water. Cut the ribs into single or double-bones.

6.Reserve ½ cup of the marinade for basting. Place the ribs into the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Refrigerate and marinate from 4 to 24 hours.

7.Remove the ribs from the bowl and discard marinade. Place the ribs on the Breville broil tray with the baking pan underneath.

8.Set the wire rack at the bottom rack height position. Turn the FUNCTION dial to BAKE. Set the TEMPERATURE to 350˚F (175˚C) and the TIME to

30 minutes. Press the START/CANCEL button to activate.

9.Ten minutes before the ribs are done, baste with remaining marinade.

Its compact size does not compromise cooking capacity; the Mini Smart Oven accommodates four slices of toast or a 10-inch pizza, making it quite versatile.
