Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork ribs
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 Scallions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.33 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
If needed, remove the silver skin membrane from the back of the pork ribs for tender results. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, black pepper, and water to make the marinade.
Step 4
Place the pork ribs in a large baking dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Remove the ribs from the marinade (reserving the marinade for later) and place them on the rack, meaty side up.
Step 6
Cover the ribs tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
Step 7
While the ribs are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 8
After 90 minutes, remove the ribs from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
Step 9
Brush the reduced marinade generously over the ribs. Return them to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through, until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.
Step 10
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired, before serving. Enjoy!
