Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork spareribs
- 0.33 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Place the spareribs on a clean work surface. Use a sharp knife to remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Cut the rack of ribs into individual rib portions.
In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and water to create the sweet honey sauce.
Place the ribs in a large baking dish, and pour half of the prepared sauce over the ribs. Reserve the other half for glazing later.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the ribs are tender.
After 2 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
Brush the ribs generously with the reserved sweet honey sauce and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the glaze caramelizes and becomes sticky. Brush with more sauce halfway through for an extra shiny finish.
Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your spareribs in sweet honey sauce!
