Ingredients

• •1200 g Pork Ribs
• •80 g Honey
• •60 ml Soy sauce
• •20 g Ginger
• •20 g Garlic

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut 1.2kg pork spare ribs between bones into individual pieces. Rinse and pat dry completely.

2. 2

   Make marinade: mix 4 tbsp soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp rice wine, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp ginger.

3. 3

   Add 1 tbsp five-spice powder and 2 tbsp hoisin sauce to marinade. Whisk until honey dissolves.

4. 4

   Place ribs in large container. Pour marinade over, toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. 5

   Preheat oven to 160°C/325°F. Line baking sheet with foil and place wire rack on top.

6. 6

   Remove ribs from marinade, reserving liquid. Arrange on rack in single layer. Season with pepper.

7. 7

   Cover tightly with foil. Bake 90 minutes until meat is very tender when pierced.

8. 8

   Meanwhile, simmer reserved marinade in saucepan until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, about 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Remove foil from ribs. Brush generously with reduced glaze. Increase oven to 220°C/425°F.

10. 10

    Roast uncovered 15-20 minutes, brushing with glaze every 5 minutes until caramelized and sticky.

11. 11

    Watch carefully in last 5 minutes - honey burns quickly. Ribs should be lacquered, not charred.

12. 12

    Rest 5 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with extra glaze.
