Ingredients Needed
- 2 racks of pork ribs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1-2 red chilies, sliced
- 1/4 cup chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the ribs with salt and pepper, then place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cover with foil and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced red chilies, chili sauce, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush generously with the chili honey glaze. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Serving Suggestions
Garnish the ribs with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with steamed rice or Asian-style vegetables for a complete meal. These sticky ribs are perfect for sharing and will delight anyone who loves a spicy-sweet flavor profile.
