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.
- 7
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
