Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork ribs
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.333 cup soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 green onions (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Flip the ribs to expose the bone-side. Remove the thin membrane for better flavor and tenderness.
Rub the ribs thoroughly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Cover them tightly with another sheet of foil to create a seal.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, until tender.
While the ribs cook, prepare the honey garlic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and water. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and transfer them to a clean baking sheet. Brush them generously with the prepared honey garlic glaze.
Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) or set it to broil. Return the glazed ribs to the oven and broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and slightly charred.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
