Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork ribs
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 Scallions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.33 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
If needed, remove the silver skin membrane from the back of the pork ribs for tender results. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, black pepper, and water to make the marinade.
Place the pork ribs in a large baking dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Remove the ribs from the marinade (reserving the marinade for later) and place them on the rack, meaty side up.
Cover the ribs tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
While the ribs are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
After 90 minutes, remove the ribs from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
Brush the reduced marinade generously over the ribs. Return them to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through, until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired, before serving. Enjoy!
