Ingredients:
- 2 lbs pork ribs (cut into individual pieces)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tsp ginger (grated)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for thickening)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Set to 300°F (150°C).
- Bake Ribs: Place ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cover with another piece of foil and bake for 2 hours until tender.
- Make Sauce: In a saucepan, mix honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, vinegar, ginger, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Thicken Sauce: Stir in cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water) and cook until thickened.
- Coat & Broil: Toss baked ribs in sauce, place under the broiler for 5 minutes until caramelized.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
Note: For extra flavor, marinate the ribs in the sauce for a few hours or overnight before baking. If you prefer a smokier taste, grill the ribs instead of broiling them. Serve with rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal! 🍽️🔥
Enjoy your sticky, sweet, and garlicky ribs! 🍯🧄🍖
