Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork spareribs
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the pork spareribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the spareribs into individual ribs and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the spareribs and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Step 5

Remove the spareribs from the marinade and place them on the wire rack in a single layer. Reserve the leftover marinade.

Step 6

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, basting them with the reserved marinade every 20 minutes for added flavor and to keep them moist.

Step 7

After 60 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.

Step 8

While the ribs finish cooking, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve the spareribs hot with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice or a crispy salad. Enjoy!
