How To Make sweet pork ribs

  • Step 1
    In a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients and whisk until well blended.
  • Step 2
    Preheat the oven to 300ºF/150ºC
  • Step 3
    Portion the pork ribs into 3 to 4 bone slabs. Spoon the spice mixture onto them and rub it in well.
  • Step 4
    Place them on a wire rack lightly greased with cooking spray sitting over a baking pan meat side down.
  • Step 5
    Pour the water into the baking pan and tightly cover with foil.
  • Step 6
    Transfer to the preheated oven and let the ribs steam for 2 hours.
  • Step 7
    About ½ hour before the time is up, make the glaze by adding ketchup, granulated sugar, pineapple juice, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, garlic and freshly ground black pepper to a medium saucepan.
  • Step 8
    Stir until the ingredients are well blended, set the heat to medium and cook the mixture until it just starts simmering. Keep it warm until needed.
  • Step 9
    After a couple of hours, remove the baking pan and transfer the ribs to a plate (*see footnote).
  • Step 10
    Increase the oven temperature to 375ºF/ 190ºC.
  • Step 11
    Take the wire rack and place it on a baking sheet lined with foil. Place the ribs meat side up, spoon some glaze over each portion and brush it on evenly to cover the entire surface.
  • Step 12
    Transfer them to the preheated oven and set the timer for 15 minutes.
  • Step 13
    When the time is up, remove from the heat and glaze the ribs again. Put them back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
  • Step 14
    Repeat the same process one more time… spooning on the remaining glaze, brush it on evenly and transfer them back to the oven to bake for the last 15 minutes.
  • Step 15
    Garnish the ribs with sesame seeds and chopped green onions and serve with rice.
  • Step 16
    Footnote: To see if they’re ready, flip and poke them with the tip of a knife – if it goes in easily, they’re done.
