Ingredients

• 3 lbs Pork spareribs
• 2 tbsp Chinese five spice powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Ginger powder
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the pork spareribs and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat if desired.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the Chinese five spice powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

Step 3

Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in plastic wrap or place them in a large resealable plastic bag. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the ribs on the rack in a single layer.

Step 5

Cover the ribs with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and nearly falling off the bone.

Step 6

While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside.

Step 7

After 2 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush one side of the ribs generously with the hoisin honey glaze and return them to the oven, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Flip the ribs over, brush the other side with the glaze, and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 10

Slice the ribs into individual portions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
