Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork ribs
• 1 cup hoisin sauce
• 0.33 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 pieces scallions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the thin membrane from the back of the pork ribs to allow better seasoning penetration. Rinse the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Season the ribs evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, meat-side up. Wrap them tightly in the foil to form a sealed packet and place the packet on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 hours until tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bones.

Step 6

While the ribs are baking, prepare the honey hoisin sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until smooth.

Step 7

After 2 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil packet. Drain off any excess liquid.

Step 8

Set your oven to broil (or preheat a grill for high heat). Brush a generous layer of the honey hoisin sauce over the ribs.

Step 9

Place the ribs under the broiler (or on the grill) and cook for 5-7 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning, until the sauce caramelizes and becomes sticky.

Step 10

Remove the ribs from the oven or grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Slice the ribs into individual pieces and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
