Title: Oriental Spareribs
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs pork spareribs
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
– 1/4 cup honey
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
– 1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
– 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup later.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.
3. Trim any excess fat from the spareribs and season them with salt and pepper. Place the ribs in the prepared baking dish.
4. Pour the marinade over the spareribs, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight for the flavors to fully develop.
5. After marinating, transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake the spareribs covered for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, basting occasionally with the marinade.
6. Uncover the dish and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the spareribs are tender and caramelized, with a slightly crispy exterior.
7. Once cooked, remove the spareribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into individual rib portions.
8. Garnish the Oriental Spareribs with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and a visually appealing touch.
9. Serve the spareribs hot with steamed rice and your favorite stir-fried vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal that will delight your taste buds and impress your guests.
