Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork spare ribs
- 0.333 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp ginger
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 stalks scallions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the pork spare ribs dry with a paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet. Cover the tray tightly with aluminum foil to seal in moisture, and bake for 75 minutes.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the honey garlic glaze. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, ginger, and black pepper.
Simmer the mixture for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
After 75 minutes, remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the ribs generously with the honey garlic glaze on both sides.
Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Place the ribs back into the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 15 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish the ribs with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve warm and enjoy!
