Most days, I have a specific dish in mind that I want to make. Other times, my cooking is entirely inspired by the ingredients that I come across earlier at grocery shopping. This baked honey BBQ baby back ribs recipe is an example for the later.
My mom always say, having quality ingredients is half way to a dish’s success already. I couldn’t agree more. When I saw the baby back ribs at the store this morning, I knew getting them and making the baked BBQ baby back ribs with a honey glaze would mean we’ll have a delicious meal for dinner tomorrow.
Follow just three steps, everyone can make tender, flavorful pork ribs at home.
When boiling the pork ribs, it’s important to add them into cold water and then bring to a boil. This is a tip everyone in China uses when cooking pork ribs. It helps to remove impurities. Skim the foam (also known as the scum) floating on the surface with a large spoon when the water starts to boil.
Plus, the cooking time can also be significantly reduced. That’s why many barbecue restaurants boil their ribs prior to grilling.
Note: Once the water starts to boil, transfer the pork ribs to a plate to rest and set aside. Boiling for too long may cause the rib to lose too much of its flavor.
Marination give the pork ribs a nice flavor. For this recipe, I used the combination of Ebara Yakiniku Sauce Soy Sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and green onion to marinate the pork ribs overnight in the fridge (at least 4 hours, preferably overnight).
Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake at 375° F for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown. Remember to use the middle rack of your oven.
And that’s it! Boil + Marinate + Bake = Great Pork Ribs, I call that the equation of delicious baked baby back ribs.
While the ribs are in the oven, I made a simple arugula salad with apple cider vinaigrette dressing to go with the honey BBQ baby back ribs later.
The sizzle and the tantalising aroma of baked pork ribs in the air are telling me a delicious meal is just around the corner. Drizzle the BBQ-flavored baby back ribs generously with honey and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, let’s dig in!
I hope you enjoy making this tasty baked honey BBQ baby back ribs. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
