Easiest Ribs Recipe
It’s officially Christmas season. The ‘Simbang Gabi’ has started, the traffic is unforgiving, the food is overflowing and the gift-wrapped boxes are everywhere. It’s undeniable, the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ is officially here and we are all giddy with excitement.
I’m sure, for most people, the Christmas season is a welcome excuse to attend and throw parties. Shallowness aside, isn’t it wonderful to celebrate the birth of Christ with family who stick with you no matter what, or with friends you haven’t seen for the longest time, or simply with people you have spent the entire year with? Christmas parties, no matter how big or small, are always fab. And they always give us at least half an inch on the waist, but for some strange cosmic joyousness reason, we don’t mind at all.
So. In the name of merry parties and Christmas girth, we decided to share one of our favorite recipes here in Oodles of Goodles to help you prepare for your fab parties. Making it is easy, but your guests will never would have guessed it. What’s great about this recipe is that people think it’s awfully hard to make, but it’s actually a ‘leave-it-while-it’s-cooking’ kind of dish. In fact, while your ribs is busily cooking itself to perfection, you can catch up on some tv shows you’ve always wanted to finish but never really got to due to work, or you can cook something else to add to your dinner repertoire. It’s simply perfect.
To start off, you need the following: ribs of course, half a liter of Sprite for every kilo of meat, two red onions, and a huge chunk of ginger. In a pot, put your ribs and pour the Sprite into the pan, over the ribs. Make sure that the ribs are all covered in Sprite. Chop the ginger and onions and put them in the pot as well. Put a little bit of salt and pepper into the pot. Bring the ribs in Sprite to a boil and then lower the fire. Leave it to cook in low fire (about an hour and a half) until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
And voila! Easy peasy ribs for your fabulous dinner party.

I so needed this recipe during my Christmas party, when the roast failed. I had only some ribs and I didn’t know what to do with them! At the end I did a honey glaze and it just wasn’t that great.
Will bookmark this and will try very soon
I will try this real soon. I always end up with ribs that taste like paksiw na lechon.
Thank you for sharing. I miss filipino food and I wood like to learn more on how to cook authentic filipino foods.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Sorry for typos…”would”* like to learn on how to cook authentic filipino foods.
sprite?!?! awesome. now that i think about it, that little hint of lemon-lime and the carbonation would make for some delicious, fall-off-the-bone ribs. this is awesome! and hey–happy holidays!
I tried it last night using a crockpot. It was falling off the bones, but it didn’t dry up to get that gooey consistency. Should I have used ordinary pot? It was still good…I ate it with barbeque sauce
