Spare ribs are the meaty ribs cut from the belly of the animal after the belly is removed. These are larger than their baby back counter-parts. They are usually trimmed down by cutting away the hard breastbone and chewy cartilage, so the slab is more rectangular in shape. These trimmed ribs are often packaged under the name St. Louis-style spare ribs While this recipe is very similar to my Sticky Filipino Spare Ribs, there are subtle differences. This rib contains more onion and has been kissed with the flavor of fresh ginger. Both are “sticky” with brown sugar, one cooked in a crock pot, the other in a stock pot. Both are finished in the oven, and can be charred on the grill for added flavor.

Sticky Filipino Spare Ribs
Have you ever had your appetite wet for something, only to be forced to settle for something else instead? I had been craving Asian Marinated Flank Steak with a side of Spicy Asian Stir-Fry Spaghetti– a family favorite that we haven’t had in a while. You know how it is when you get it in your head that this is what you want, and you are crushed when life gets in the way. It’s like driving to your favorite ice cream parlor for a big scoop of Butter Brickle only to find the place closed. There you are, with your nose pressed against the glass, knowing that no other ice cream flavor will do and this is the only place in town to serve it.
