Slow cooked Chinese Spare Ribs

This post brought to you by Panda Express. The content and opinions expressed below are that of this mama loves.

We have lived in eastern Connecticut for almost 10 years now and have yet to find a Chinese restaurant that has decent Chinese spare ribs. There was a place near where we lived in New Hampshire that had amazing ones, and I know the Chinese place in my town growing up was known for theirs, but both have since closed so even if we make a trip, we can’t have them.

I’m so excited to find out that we have a family-owned Panda Express just about 20 minutes away that is now launching a new premium rib (adding rib) entree: Chinese Spare ribs. I’m going with a girlfriend for lunch next week and cannot wait. Some may look at ribs as a ‘guy’ food, but I disagree. I feel like they are for everyone.  These Chinese Spare Ribs are slow cooked for 5 hrs with sesame oil, mirin, red chili bean paste, garlic and red peppers, creating their one-of-a-kind flavor. Sweet, spicy, and savory, these fall-off-the-bone ribs bring together the best parts of Chinese Char Siu and classic American barbecue. It’s literally an east meets west kind of thing. These delicious Chinese Spare Ribs are available only for a limited time at Panda Express locations. A bonus? You can Order Online!

My question for you- who will you be enjoying the  Chinese Spare Ribs with?

I'm a 40 something lifestyle blogger living in Connecticut with my husband and our 3 kids, plus our two rescue pups. We love to hike, travel, play games, watch movies, and just be outside together! Having 3 active kids makes for a hectic schedule and I try to share content, recipes and other things that can help to make today's busy family life simpler, easier, or just plain more fun!

I started working full time at a local middle school in fall 2021 and some of my students are insistent that I am mean.

    At first, I just saw the title of your post and I thought, “I just saw a commercial about Chinese spare ribs.” Then I scrolled down and saw you were talking about the ones at Panda Express. Of course, that was the commercial I’d just seen. Clearly, I need to try these. Clearly!

    That does sound like the perfect marriage of cultures. I’d love to make these. I have a teen daughter and husband who love ribs. If my two grown boys were home visiting, I know they would love them too.

  6. Melissa Vera says

    I would not be eating the spareribs however their orange chicken and rice is to die for. We don’t have one near us but my daughter does and we ate there this weekend.

    omg why do I have to live in a Panda Express-less area?!?! Panda Express was my favorite when I lived in FL. Ate there at least once a week… And now they have ribs?!?! You are killing me with this post -_-

  8. Lynndee says

    I’m going to enjoy those spare ribs with my husband and son. We love Chinese! The last time I had spare ribs was on V-day. Can’t wait to have one again.

  10. Yona Williams says

    My Dad and nephew like Chinese spare ribs, and these look so good. I just read that a Panda Express is opening up soon on my side of town. I’m excited. I cannot wait.

  11. Rebecca Swenor says

    I totally believe spare ribs are for everyone indeed. These sound mouth watering and now I am so craving the Chinese spare ribs. Thanks for sharing.

    I love Chinese spare ribs! You should come here to the Philippines, there’s a Chinese restaurant in almost every block! You can even have Chinese food every day.

  15. Betsy @ BPhotoArt says

    Those look delicious! I probably wouldn’t be to have them though, I bet they have sugar in them. Sigh. One of the downfalls of the refined-sugar-free diet I’m on.

  17. Kelly says

    Panda Express is a favorite in our house and my husband can eat some spare ribs! I would eat them with some sticky rice!

    The Chinese food here in Florida totally is different from up north. Not the biggest fan of it either. We finally found a spot that we liked and just noticed it was closed. So bummed!

    Hi Brett, I’ve always enjoyed Panda Express – but I haven’t been in a long while – now that I’ve seen the Spare Ribs, I’ll be checking it out the next time we go off the mountain shopping! Yummy 🙂

  22. Kori Tomelden says

    Those are one of my favorite appetizers to get when we have Chinese food. It’s great to know that there’s a convenient option to have them at home.

  24. Echo says

    We have a Panda Express right up the street. I bet my husband would love these! My in-laws too. I may have to take them to dinner!

  26. breanna says

    My oldest boy LOVES ribs, actually anything BBQ. So I know these would be a huge hit in our household. They look and sounds delicious. Great share.

  29. Elizabeth O. says

    I’m such a sucker for anything Chinese! My love for Asian food is beyond comprehension!

  32. Ashleigh Walls says

    I would be sharing this with my boyfriend! We always make or have Chinese on the weekend while our oldest is at his grandma’s since he doesn’t like it.

  33. Paula Schuck says

    My family loves Panda Express. The food is delicious. We have it at least once a month.

  34. Krysta says

    Anything that requires only a slow cooker is golden in my book! Though I love to cook, I also like some things to be easy as pie! Thanks!

  37. Bonnie @ wemake7 says

    I love Chinese food, well hubby does too of course. He loves Spare Ribs and would love these I bet!

  39. Terri Ramsey Beavers says

    These look and sound amazing, I have never made spare ribs in the crock pot but I’d love to now. Thanks so much for sharing, I’ll wait until the family is over the tummy bug so I can share them with everyone.

  40. Grace Hodgin says

    I am a Panda Express fan and enjoy what they have to offer on their steam tables. I think my husband would really enjoy these spare ribs so will have to go to our local one and have a dinner out.

  41. Fi Ni Neachtain says

    I don’t eat spare ribs, I’m not really a meat lover. My other half would love these though and he’d eat them all himself 🙂

  42. Ashley says

    There truly is nothing like slow cooked ribs, especially with an Asian kick. I think one of the perks of living on Long Island is that we have an awesome Chinese food place on every corner 🙂 When I lived in CT, though, that was not the case at all so I can definitely understand your excitement! I hope they’re just as incredible as you’re anticipating 🙂

  44. Alli says

    I don’t eat spareribs, but my husband sure can scarf them down. We both love Chinese food and I’ve seen Panda Express everywhere down here in the south, but I don’t think we’ve ever eaten there. We need to change that ASAP.

  45. Terry says

    Well thank you!! I have been wondering what I can take to my Daughters for Easter. She is making the meal, but I always bring something extra and a little different.

  46. Robin (Masshole Mommy) says

    I don’t eat spare ribs, but I know so many people will love this recipe. I know spare ribs are popular, especially since it;s almost grill season.
