HINT: If you have short period of time, toss the ribs in the marinade and leave at room temperature, covered, for up to two hours. The meat will absorb the flavours of the marinade more quickly at room temperature. (This principle applies to all marinades.)
NOTES: Ribs can be bought as a long piece or cut into individual pieces. If chopping ribs yourself, you will need a sharp cleaver. Alternatively, ribs can be cooked in one piece and chopped into pieces after cooking, when the bone is softer. A longer cooking time will be required if the ribs are to be cooked as a single piece.
Pork ribs can also be used in this recipe.you can use either the thick, meaty ribs. which are like beef ribs, or the long thin spare ribs, also known as American-style ribs. Pork spare ribs have less meat so a shorter cooking time is required.
