Any recipes for a chinese marinade?

[clairebrookes]

Does anyone know of a recipe for a sauce/marinade similar to the red sauce you get on Chinese style spare ribs?

I think most supermarkets sell oriental sauces just watch the Kcals, a basic check is 20kcal-1 syn so work out how many people will eat it divided into the total syn value......
I use this recipe, it's a BBQ sauce recipe.............

Pete’s Spicy BBQ sauce

Serves 4

Syn Free

Ingredients


1 onion peeled and roughly chopped (s)(sff)
1 tsp. mild chilli powder
227ml/8fl oz. passata (s)(sff)
3 tbsp. artificial sweetener
4 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. mustard powder
salt and freshly ground blacken pepper.



Balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce provide the basis for this great tasting bbq sauce that is perfect for a dip, basting a chicken thighs or vegetable kebabs before a BBQ.

Method

Spray a pan with fry light and sauté the onion and chilli powder over a low heat for 5 minutes until softened.

Stir in the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened. Blitz with a hand blender for a finer mix.

Check the seasoning before serving hot or cold.

Freezer friendly.

My version of a chinese marinade , its pretty much the same as the diet coke chicken , i marinade ribs chicken , pork, i don't always boil it so it goes sticky i prefer it as a thick sauce:

Small bottle diet coke
Tbspn tomato puree
Tspn garlic
Tspn ginger(fresh,or minced out of a jar)
Tspn chinese five spice
Salt& black pepper
Slug of soy sauce

Sling it all in a pan , leave to infuse for a few mins , then boil it til you get the consistency you want, i add mine to chicken woth green peppers, mushroom ,

This is a great recipe, you don't have to use meat its just as good mixed in a stir fry with vey & noodles x

Hi guys these both sound like great recipes. I'm thinking of doing some ribs in the slow cooker. Do you think these recipes would work well in the slow cooker?

I've found a really lovely recipe that tastes exactly like Chinese spare ribs that's super easy and cheap. It's not syn free but it's very low in syn.

This recipe makes enough for 5-6 ribs
2tbsp soy sauce
2tbsp oyster sauce
1tbsp honey
1tsp Chinese five spice
2 cloves of garlic,
0.5 tsp of fresh red chillies.

Boil it down until it's nice and sticky and add to seared pork ribs for the ultimate sticky rib taste
