Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork country-style ribs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the ribs by patting them dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat if necessary. Place the ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, Chinese five-spice powder, and Sriracha. This will be your marinade.
Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use. Arrange the ribs on the wire rack in a single layer.
Cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 90 minutes. While baking, baste the ribs with the reserved marinade every 20-30 minutes for added flavor and moisture.
Remove the foil for the last 20-30 minutes of cooking to allow the ribs to develop a caramelized, slightly crispy exterior.
Check for doneness: the ribs should be tender, and the internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C). Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish the ribs with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Pair with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
