Steps to make Baked Char Siu (Cantonese Barbeque):
  1. Start off by preheating your oven to 350F, then line a baking dish with aluminum foil. Spray lightly with non-stick spray.
  2. Now season your ribs with salt and pepper. Don't go crazy as the soy sauce will provide quite a bit of salt.
  3. Place your ribs in the baking dish and put them in the oven. We're going to be baking them for 1 -1/2 hours so set your timer.
  4. Once the ribs are on their way combine all of the other ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined.
  5. About 1/2 hour into the cooking process we can start basting our ribs. Apply a liberal amount with a basting brush and continue basting every twenty minutes or so until the ribs are finished cooking.
  6. With about ten minutes left on your timer, check the ribs. By now they should be getting nice and crispy on the outside. If they aren't, when the timer gets down to five minutes you can stick them under the broiler for a minute or two to crisp up. Keep a close eye on them, we don't want burnt ribs.
  7. Remove from oven and let them rest for 10 minutes.
  8. Now we're finished. ENJOY!

That's where its Chinese name Char/叉 (fork) Siu/烧 (roast) comes from. Remove the Char Siu from the ziplock bag. Arrange the Char Siu on a wire rack. Mix two parts of maltose with one part of the marinade to form the basting sauce. The quality should be sufficient to baste the Char Siu at least three times.
