Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ⅓ cup (113g) honey (raw or local preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Remove the silver skin membrane from the back of the ribs if attached. Pat ribs dry and season with salt and pepper. Place bone-side down on the wire rack.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until combined. Adjust sriracha to desired spice level.
  4. Cover ribs loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour. After 45 minutes, baste ribs with some glaze using a brush or spoon to keep them juicy.
  5. Remove foil after 1 hour and brush ribs generously with remaining glaze. Switch oven to broil on high and broil ribs for 3-5 minutes until glaze bubbles and caramelizes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over ribs before serving.

Notes

Remove silver skin membrane for tender ribs. Baste halfway through baking to lock in moisture. Broil at the end for caramelized sticky glaze but watch carefully to avoid burning. Rest ribs 5 minutes before serving. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Leftovers store well in fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently in oven wrapped in foil.
