Ribs
5 Spice Marinade
For Cooking
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ribs
Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork ribs. Rinse the ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2
Season the Ribs
Rub the ribs with salt and black pepper evenly on both sides. This will enhance the flavor of the meat.
- 3
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, combine five-spice powder, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well until the honey is dissolved.

Marinate the Ribs
Place the ribs in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Cooking
- 5
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
- 6
Prepare for Baking
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow the fat to drain away from the ribs.

Cook the Ribs
Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on the wire rack. Reserve the marinade for basting. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
- 8
Baste the Ribs
Every 30 minutes, brush the ribs with the reserved marinade to keep them moist and flavorful.

Finish Under the Broiler
After 2 hours, switch the oven to broil and cook the ribs for an additional 5-10 minutes until the surface is caramelized and slightly charred. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven, let the ribs rest for a few minutes, then slice and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
