Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 60 ml Honey
- 125 ml Tomato ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 Fresh red chili, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, and tomato ketchup. Whisk together until smooth and fully blended.
Add the rice wine vinegar, dark brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and Chinese five-spice powder to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the ingredients.
If desired, stir in the finely chopped red chili for an extra kick of heat.
Place your rack of ribs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Before cooking the ribs, remove them from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
Cook the ribs using your preferred method (baking, grilling, or slow-cooking), basting occasionally with any leftover marinade for added flavor and stickiness.
