Directions
1.
Cut ribs into 3- to 4-rib portions. Place rib portions in a 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven. Add lightly salted water to pan to just cover ribs. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Drain. Cool slightly. Transfer to an extra-large resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
2.
In a medium bowl combine hoisin sauce, bean sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and pepper. Remove 1/2 cup sauce mixture to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate. Add remaining mixture to ribs in bag; seal bag. Refrigerate overnight, turning bag occasionally.
3.
In a small saucepan combine reserved 1/2 cup sauce mixture and the lemon juice. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until slightly thickened and reduced to 1/3 to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat; stir in honey. Set aside.
4.
Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil. Place ribs, meaty sides up, on a rack in the prepared pan. Brush about 1/4 cup of the honey mixture over ribs. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until glazed and heated through.
5.
Transfer ribs to a platter; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with Cucumber-Potato Salad and remaining sauce mixture. Makes: 6 servings
6.

Cover and shake to combine ingredients. In a very large bowl combine warm potatoes and 1 medium cucumber, seeded and cut into bite-size pieces. Add dressing to potatoes; stir gently to coat.
