Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork ribs
• 1 tbsp sea salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.333 cup soy sauce
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 green onions (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Flip the ribs to expose the bone-side. Remove the thin membrane for better flavor and tenderness.

Step 3

Rub the ribs thoroughly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let them rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Cover them tightly with another sheet of foil to create a seal.

Step 5

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, until tender.

Step 6

While the ribs cook, prepare the honey garlic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and water. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and transfer them to a clean baking sheet. Brush them generously with the prepared honey garlic glaze.

Step 9

Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) or set it to broil. Return the glazed ribs to the oven and broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and slightly charred.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
