Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork spareribs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the pork spareribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the spareribs into individual ribs and place them in a large bowl.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the spareribs and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Remove the spareribs from the marinade and place them on the wire rack in a single layer. Reserve the leftover marinade.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, basting them with the reserved marinade every 20 minutes for added flavor and to keep them moist.
After 60 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.
While the ribs finish cooking, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Serve the spareribs hot with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice or a crispy salad. Enjoy!
