Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork spareribs
- 0.5 cups Kahlua liqueur
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped for garnish
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- 8 cups water (for boiling ribs)
Instructions
Place the spareribs in a large pot and cover them with 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
While the ribs are simmering, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together Kahlua, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the ribs have finished simmering, drain them and pat them dry with paper towels. Arrange the ribs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Brush half of the Kahlua sauce generously over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the ribs, baste them with the remaining sauce, and return them to the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until they are caramelized and tender.
Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve the Kahlua spareribs warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice or a crisp salad.
