Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork spare ribs
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Five-spice powder
• 2 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing wine)
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Cut the spare ribs into individual ribs and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, five-spice powder, and Chinese cooking wine. Add the water to thin the mixture slightly.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches if needed.

Step 5

Transfer the seared ribs to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce over the ribs, making sure they are well-coated.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, turning the ribs halfway through the cooking process.

Step 8

After 60 minutes, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C). Bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and the ribs to caramelize.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the ribs to a serving platter, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve warm with steamed rice or your favorite sides.
