Ingredients
Before we dive into the cooking process, let's gather our ingredients.
For the Pork Ribs:
- 3 lbs pork ribs
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Hoisin Glaze:
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Sliced green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients ready, it's time to get cooking.
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Ribs
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Season the pork ribs with salt and pepper, then place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Step 2: Cook the Ribs
Cover the ribs with another layer of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones.
Step 3: Make the Hoisin Glaze
While the ribs are cooking, you can prepare the hoisin glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the hoisin sauce, honey, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and Chinese five-spice powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4: Glaze the Ribs
Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven and increase the temperature to 425°F. Brush the hoisin glaze generously over the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly.
Step 5: Finish in the Oven
Return the glazed ribs to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
Serving
Once the ribs are done, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for an extra pop of flavor and color. Then, transfer the ribs to a serving platter and watch them disappear in no time. Enjoy your Sticky Hoisin Pork Ribs with your favorite sides and a refreshing beverage!
