Ribs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Rinse the pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the ribs evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside while preparing the marinade.

Marinade

  1. 3

    Mix the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, five spice powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red food coloring. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 4

    Marinate the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).

  2. 6

    Prepare for Baking

    Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on a baking tray lined with foil. Reserve the marinade for basting.

  3. 7

    Bake the Ribs

    Cover the ribs with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.

  4. 8

    Baste the Ribs

    After 2 hours, remove the foil and baste the ribs with the reserved marinade. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes, until the ribs are caramelized and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Once the ribs are done, let them rest for 10 minutes. Then slice between the bones and serve with your favorite sides.
