Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spareribs

    Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rinse the pork spareribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the ribs into pieces, if desired, to fit them into your baking dish.

  2. 2

    Mix the Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, ketchup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and all ingredients are well blended.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Marinate the Ribs

    Place the pork spareribs in a large baking dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.

  2. 4

    Bake the Ribs

    After marination, remove the ribs from the refrigerator. Place them in the preheated oven uncovered. Bake for about 2.5 to 3 hours, basting the ribs with the sauce every 30 minutes, until the ribs are tender and caramelized.

  3. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your sweet sour spareribs!
