Ingredients:

• 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled, and coarsely chopped
  
• 5 garlic cloves
  
• 2 stalks lemongrass, bottom part only, thinly sliced thinly
  
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro stems

2. Place the spareribs in a glass baking dish. Rub the sauce over the spareribs with your hands. Cover and refrigerate the spareribs overnight.
   
   
3. When you are ready to cook the ribs, preheat the oven to 375 F.

7. Place the ribs under the broiler for 3 minutes, or until the meat is brown.
   
   
8. Carefully remove the ribs from the oven, and set them aside to cool before slicing and serving.
