1
Prepare the Ribs
Start by rinsing the pork ribs under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any excess moisture.
2
Season the Ribs
Rub the salt and black pepper evenly over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are well-seasoned.

3
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, combine the five spice powder, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk together until well-blended.
4
Marinate the Ribs
Place the seasoned ribs in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

5
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
6
Bake the Ribs
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on the rack. Reserve the marinade for basting later. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.
7
Baste the Ribs
Every 30 minutes, baste the ribs with the reserved marinade to keep them moist and enhance their flavor.
8
Finish the Ribs
After baking, increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F). Broil the ribs for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the surface is caramelized and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

9
Slice and Serve
Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
