Ingredients
- Pork ribs
- Fresh ginger, minced
- Chilli flakes
- Garlic, minced
- Soy sauce
- Honey
- Sesame oil
- Green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the pork ribs. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help ensure a nice sear and flavor absorption later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced fresh ginger, chilli flakes, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined to create a marinade.
- Add the pork ribs to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low and slow cooking method will help the ribs become tender and flavorful.
- Once the ribs have marinated, remove them from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This will help them cook more evenly.
- Place the marinated ribs in a large baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Reserve any leftover marinade for later use.
- Cover the ribs with aluminum foil to retain moisture during cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours. This slow cooking process will help break down the connective tissue in the ribs, making them tender.
- After 2 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully take off the aluminum foil. Brush the reserved marinade over the ribs for added flavor.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting with the marinade every 10 minutes. This will create a nice glaze on the ribs.
- Once the ribs are caramelized and have a nice glaze, remove them from the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- While the ribs are resting, chop the green onions. These will be used as a fresh garnish.
- Slice the ribs between the bones and arrange them on a serving platter. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve the pork ribs hot, accompanied by steamed rice or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy your delicious Pork Ribs with Ginger and Chilli!
Tips
- Marinate Overnight: For the best flavor, try to marinate the pork ribs overnight. This allows the spices to penetrate deeply, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ginger and garlic will elevate the taste of your ribs. Avoid pre-minced versions for a more vibrant flavor.
- Low and Slow: Cooking the ribs at a low temperature (300°F/150°C) for a longer time is key to achieving tenderness. Don't rush this process!
- Baste for Glaze: When you increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C), make sure to baste the ribs with the reserved marinade every 10 minutes. This creates a beautiful caramelized glaze.
- Rest Before Serving: Letting the ribs rest for about 10 minutes after baking allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is juicy and flavorful.
- Pair it Right: Serve your ribs with steamed rice or a refreshing cucumber salad to balance the rich flavors of the dish. With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a show-stopping meal that will have everyone asking for your secret recipe!
