Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork spare ribs
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 2 cups water
- 2 scallions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the ribs by trimming excess fat and cutting them into individual ribs. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, vegetable oil, ground black pepper, salt, and chili flakes (if using) to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the ribs in the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Step 5
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, add the marinated ribs along with all the marinade liquid. Pour in 2 cups of water to ensure the ribs stay moist during cooking.
Step 6
Cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil and cook in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
Step 7
Once the ribs are cooked, remove the pot from the oven and transfer the ribs to a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
Step 8
Preheat your oven’s broiler for a caramelized finish. Brush the ribs with the remaining marinade from the pot and broil them for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are slightly charred and sticky.
Step 9
Remove the ribs from the broiler and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
