Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork spareribs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the spareribs dry with a paper towel, then rub them with salt and black pepper.
Place the ribs in a roasting pan, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 60 minutes, or until tender.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the mixture is well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk it into the sauce to thicken. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
After 60 minutes, remove the spareribs from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
Brush the ribs generously with the prepared sauce on both sides. Return the ribs to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through, until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.
Once done, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the ribs with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
Serve hot with your favorite sides or enjoy them on their own. Don't forget napkins—they're deliciously messy!
