Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Rub the baby back ribs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 4

    Thicken the Sauce

    Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking the Ribs

  1. 5

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

  2. 6

    Glaze the Ribs

    During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with the Mongolian sauce and return to the oven.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove ribs from the oven, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice. Garnish with chopped chives and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
