Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork ribs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Remove ribs from packaging and pat dry with paper towels to ensure even seasoning and better caramelization.
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, orange juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and sesame oil to create the marinade. Whisk ingredients until well blended.
- Place ribs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over them, ensuring ribs are completely coated. Seal bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Remove ribs from marinade, reserving the liquid for basting.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange ribs on the rack, bone side down, to allow even heat circulation.
- Cover ribs loosely with foil and bake for
- 5 hours, basting every 30 minutes with reserved marinade to keep meat moist.
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Remove foil and continue cooking for additional 30 minutes, allowing ribs to caramelize and develop a rich, glossy exterior.
- Remove ribs from oven and let rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice ribs between bones and garnish with finely chopped green onions before serving.
Tips
- Marinate Overnight: For the best flavor, allow the ribs to marinate overnight. This not only enhances the taste but also helps tenderize the meat, making it fall-off-the-bone delicious.
- Baste Frequently: Remember to baste the ribs with the reserved marinade every 30 minutes while baking. This keeps the meat moist and infuses it with even more flavor.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure your ribs are perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach at least 190°F (88°C) for optimal tenderness.
- Let Them Rest: After baking, let the ribs rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful.
- Garnish for Presentation: Don’t skip the green onions! They not only add a pop of color but also a fresh crunch that complements the rich flavors of the glaze beautifully.
