Ingredients

• 3 pounds Country-style pork spare ribs
• 0.5 cups Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Pat the country-style pork spare ribs dry with paper towels, then season all sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and water. Stir well to make the glaze.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and brush the ribs generously with the prepared hoisin glaze, coating all sides.

Step 6

Cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil or a lid. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours, turning the ribs and basting them with the glaze every 30 minutes.

Step 7

After 2 hours, check for tenderness. The ribs should be fork-tender. If they need more time, cover and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes.

Step 8

Once tender, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush the ribs with additional glaze and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is thickened and slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
