Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork spare ribs
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Five-spice powder
- 2 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing wine)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Cut the spare ribs into individual ribs and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, five-spice powder, and Chinese cooking wine. Add the water to thin the mixture slightly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches if needed.
Transfer the seared ribs to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Pour the prepared sauce over the ribs, making sure they are well-coated.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, turning the ribs halfway through the cooking process.
After 60 minutes, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C). Bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and the ribs to caramelize.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Transfer the ribs to a serving platter, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve warm with steamed rice or your favorite sides.
