A delightful recipe for tender and flavorful pork ribs with an Asian-inspired glaze.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, sea salt, ground black pepper, Chinese five spice powder, honey, and soy sauce to create a marinade.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed.
Rub the marinade all over the pork ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
For deeper flavor, marinate the ribs overnight.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the ribs inside for even cooking.
Place the marinated ribs in a roasting dish and bake for 20 minutes.
Use a roasting dish with a rack to allow the heat to circulate around the ribs.
Turn the ribs over, add 1/2 cup of boiling water to the roasting dish, and continue baking for another 20 minutes.
Adding water to the dish helps keep the ribs moist during the second half of cooking.
Serve the ribs hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
