Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork spareribs
- 2 tbsp Chinese five spice powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Ginger powder
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the pork spareribs and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the Chinese five spice powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in plastic wrap or place them in a large resealable plastic bag. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for the best flavor.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the ribs on the rack in a single layer.
Cover the ribs with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and nearly falling off the bone.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside.
After 2 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush one side of the ribs generously with the hoisin honey glaze and return them to the oven, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Flip the ribs over, brush the other side with the glaze, and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Slice the ribs into individual portions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
