Asian Spare Ribs are tender pork ribs coated in a sticky, flavorful glaze made with soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, ginger, and a touch of sweetness. Baked or slow-cooked to perfection, they’re an irresistible fusion dish ideal for dinner or gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 lbs pork spare ribs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1–2 tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar or honey, garlic, ginger, vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using) to create the marinade.
  3. Place the spare ribs in a large baking dish or roasting pan and pour the marinade over them, coating well.
  4. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.
  5. Remove foil, increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C), and baste the ribs with the pan juices.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until the glaze thickens and caramelizes.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Marinate the ribs overnight for deeper flavor, though it’s optional.
  • For a spicier version, increase the amount of sriracha or add chili flakes.
  • Try honey instead of brown sugar for a shinier glaze.
  • Use a slow cooker for a hands-off method; finish under the broiler for caramelization.
  • Baby back ribs or boneless country-style ribs can be used as alternatives.
