Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork spareribs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 Scallions, sliced for garnish
- 1 tablespoon White sesame seeds for garnish
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Cut the spareribs into smaller sections, 2-3 ribs per section, for easier handling.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Step 4
Place the spareribs in the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Arrange the marinated spareribs in a single layer in a large roasting pan, meaty side up. Pour any remaining marinade over the ribs and add 1 cup of water to the pan to keep the meat moist while cooking.
Step 6
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring no steam can escape. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 2.5 hours until the ribs are tender.
Step 7
Remove the foil and baste the ribs generously with the juices in the pan. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook the ribs uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting once or twice with the pan juices to achieve a glossy glaze.
Step 8
Once the ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and caramelized, remove them from the oven.
Step 9
Serve the spareribs on a platter, garnished with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of white sesame seeds. Enjoy with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes!
