Ingredients
- 1 kg pork ribs
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the ribs
- Wash ribs and pat dry. Remove membrane from back. Season with salt and pepper for better flavor.
Make the marinade
- In a bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger and lime juice until well combined.
Marinate the ribs
- Coat ribs with marinade evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the oven
- Set oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with foil. Place marinated ribs on the tray carefully.
Bake the ribs
- Cover ribs with foil and bake for one hour. This helps make them tender and juicy.
Prepare glaze
- Pour remaining marinade into a saucepan. Cook on low heat until slightly thickened to use as glaze.
Glaze and bake again
- Remove foil and brush ribs with glaze. Bake uncovered for 20–30 minutes until sticky and caramelized.
Rest and serve
- Let ribs rest for five minutes. Slice and serve warm with extra glaze on top for more flavor.
Notes
- Use baby back ribs for tender meat.
- Grill ribs for smoky flavor.
- Add fish sauce for deeper taste.
- Adjust chili for spice level.
- Use brown sugar instead of honey.
- Add sesame seeds for garnish.
- Do not skip resting time before serving.
