Tender spare ribs coated in a sweet‑savory Asian glaze and garnished with fresh scallions—an irresistible dish perfect for gatherings or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lb pork spare ribs, cut into individual pieces or sections
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (regular or low-sodium)
  • 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce (optional for depth)
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sriracha or chili paste (adjust to taste)
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 °F (150 °C).
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, hoisin, vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha in a mixing bowl.
  3. Place ribs in a baking dish or Dutch oven. Pour half the sauce over ribs, reserving remainder, then cover tightly with foil.
  4. Bake low and slow for 2½–3 hours, until ribs are tender.
  5. Remove foil, brush ribs with reserved sauce, and increase oven temperature to 425 °F (220 °C) or switch to broil.
  6. Broil or roast 5–8 minutes until sauce is sticky, caramelized, and just charred at edges—watch closely.
  7. Let rest 5 minutes, then garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more sriracha or chili flakes to the glaze.
  • Add a splash of orange or pineapple juice for citrus brightness.
  • Use gochujang in place of hoisin for Korean-style flavor.
  • Slow cook ribs 6–7 hours on low and broil to finish for an oven-free method.
  • Make gluten-free by using tamari and a gluten-free hoisin.
