Coriander Spareribs

5 Pounds Pork Spareribs

1/4 Cup Sugar

3 Tablespoons Garlic -- minced

3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

2 1/2 Tablespoons Coriander -- ground

1 Teaspoon Dried Red Hot Chilies -- crushed

1 Teaspoon Salt

1/3 Cup Water

Trim excess fat off ribs. Cut ribs apart between bones. In a 14- by 17-inch pan, mix together sugar, garlic, lemon juice, coriander, chilies, salt, and water to make a paste. Add ribs, stirring gently to coat with seasoning paste. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Bake, covered, in a 400 degree oven until meat is almost tender when pierced, about 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 30 minutes. Lift out of pan and serve hot.
