Marinade and Ribs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Ribs

    Place the baby back ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  4. 4

    Bake the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Reserve the marinade for basting. Cover the ribs with another piece of aluminum foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until tender.

  5. 5

    Baste and Finish

    During the last 30 minutes of baking, uncover the ribs and baste with the reserved marinade every 10 minutes. This will give them a nice glaze.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once done, remove the ribs from the oven, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice between the bones. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
