Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork spareribs
• 0.33 cup honey
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Place the spareribs on a clean work surface. Use a sharp knife to remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Cut the rack of ribs into individual rib portions.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and water to create the sweet honey sauce.

Step 4

Place the ribs in a large baking dish, and pour half of the prepared sauce over the ribs. Reserve the other half for glazing later.

Step 5

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

Step 6

After 2 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

Step 7

Brush the ribs generously with the reserved sweet honey sauce and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the glaze caramelizes and becomes sticky. Brush with more sauce halfway through for an extra shiny finish.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your spareribs in sweet honey sauce!
