These flavorful, Asian-inspired ribs are saucy, fall-off-the-bone tender, finger-licking good, and so much fun to eat! Serve them with a side of riced cauliflower or your favorite vegetable.
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 1/2 rack of ribs
Ingredients:
- 2 racks of pork baby back ribs (about 7lbs or 2594g)
- 1/2 cup (120g) of Sesame Sauce
- 1 tbsp. (6g) Chinese five-spice powder
- water
Directions:
- Cutting through the meat between the bones, cut each rack in half to make four even, half-racks.
- Place ribs on a baking sheet and sprinkle them front and back with the five-spice to coat. Use your hands to rub the spice into the meat on both sides.
- Cover the baking sheet and refrigerate for one to two hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C)
- For an easy clean-up later, place the ribs bone side down in a large disposable roasting pan or a large roasting pan lined with aluminum foil.
- Fill the pan with about 1/4″ (0.635cm) water.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the center of the preheated oven. Cook covered for an hour or until a fork slides easily into the meat.
- Remove from the oven and uncover. Brush the tops and sides of each half rack liberally with sesame sauce.
- Place the pan back into the oven, uncovered. Cook for another 15 minutes until the meat has browned and the glaze has thickened.
