Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
• 1 cup Plum jam
• 2 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tbsp Scallions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if it's still attached. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Place the seasoned ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil and wrap them tightly to seal.

Step 4

Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

Step 5

While the ribs are baking, prepare the ginger plum glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the plum jam, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 6

Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

When the ribs are done baking, preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Remove the ribs from the foil and place them on the grill or a broiler pan. Brush the ribs generously with the ginger plum glaze.

Step 9

Grill or broil the ribs for about 5-7 minutes per side, brushing with more glaze as needed, until the ribs are caramelized and slightly charred.

Step 10

Remove the ribs from the grill or broiler and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.

Step 11

Garnish the ribs with sesame seeds and sliced scallions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
