🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 3 pounds Country-style pork spare ribs
• 0.5 cups Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cups Water

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Pat the country-style pork spare ribs dry with paper towels, then season all sides with salt and black pepper.

3. In a small mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and water. Stir well to make the glaze.

4. Heat the vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

5. Remove the skillet from heat and brush the ribs generously with the prepared hoisin glaze, coating all sides.

6. Cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil or a lid. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours, turning the ribs and basting them with the glaze every 30 minutes.

7. After 2 hours, check for tenderness. The ribs should be fork-tender. If they need more time, cover and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes.

8. Once tender, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush the ribs with additional glaze and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is thickened and slightly caramelized.

9. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

10. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
