Method

Arrange a large roasting pan over two burners on the stovetop.

Place ribs meat side down.

Cover with 7 cups water, ginger, garlic and five spice powder.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.

Cool ribs in poaching liquid for 30 minutes.

Remove ribs from liquid and set aside; discard liquid.

Meanwhile, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, toasted sesame oil, chile flakes, five spice powder, mustard, sherry and honey in a medium bowl.

Arrange ribs in a large glass baking dish or in large resealable plastic bags.

Cover completely with marinade, turning to coat, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Prepare a grill for indirect, low heat cooking.

Remove ribs from marinade; reserve remaining marinade.

Cut rib racks into 4- to 6- rib sections and arrange meaty side up on the grill.

Heat marinade to boiling for two minutes, then reserve for basting ribs.

Turn, rotate and baste ribs with marinade every 10 minutes, for approximately 1 hour.

Continue to grill until the meat begin to pull away from the bone and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the rib (without touching the bone) reads 160°F.

Transfer ribs to a cutting board and cut between bones to separate. Place on a platter and serve with any remaining marinade.
