A delightful twist on classic garlic ribs, combining sweet and savory flavors for a tender and flavorful dish.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Cut the pork ribs into individual pieces between the bones.
Ask your butcher to cut the ribs for you to save time.
Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a baking pan.
A single layer ensures even cooking.
In a saucepan, combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, mustard powder, and minced garlic.
Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar completely.
Heat the sauce over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Avoid boiling the sauce to maintain its flavor.
Pour the sauce evenly over the ribs in the baking pan.
Ensure all ribs are coated with the sauce.
Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
Covering the pan helps retain moisture.
Remove the foil, stir the ribs, and bake uncovered for an additional 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Stirring prevents the sauce from burning.
Serve the ribs hot, optionally over steamed rice or with a side salad.
Garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor.
