These Sweet and Savory Asian-Style Ribs are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, featuring a flavorful glaze that perfectly complements the tender meat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Cut the ribs into individual portions and arrange them in a baking pan.
Cutting the ribs beforehand helps them cook more evenly.
Bake the ribs in the oven for 45 minutes.
Cover the pan with foil to retain moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, dry sherry, ginger, and honey to create the sauce.
Mix the sauce thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Brush the sauce generously over the ribs.
Use a basting brush for an even application of the sauce.
Return the ribs to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
Turn the ribs halfway through for even caramelization.
Turn the ribs over, brush with more sauce, and bake for another 30 minutes.
Keep an eye on the ribs to prevent the sauce from burning.
Serve the ribs hot, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
