Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork spareribs
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 cups Pineapple juice
• 0.25 cups Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork spareribs into individual ribs or sections of 2-3 ribs as desired.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, pineapple juice, ketchup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to form the marinade.

Step 3

Place the spareribs into a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 4

Refrigerate the marinating spareribs overnight or for at least 8 hours, turning occasionally to evenly coat the meat.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Step 6

Remove the spareribs from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared rack.

Step 7

Transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes to reduce and thicken into a glaze.

Step 8

Brush the spareribs generously with the prepared glaze, then place them in the oven to bake for 1 1/2 hours, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.

Step 9

For a caramelized finish, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) during the last 10 minutes of cooking or place the ribs under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside steamed rice for a meal. Enjoy!
