Honey Glazed Roasted Pork Ribs

These honey glazed roasted pork ribs offer a perfect balance of savory and sweet. Slow-roasted with a rich char siu marinade and finished with a glossy honey glaze.

Ingredients

• 1 kg pork ribs
• 3 tbsp char siu sauce
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 slices lemon
• 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

1. 1Soak the ribs

   

   Cut the pork ribs into large, uniform pieces and place them into a metal bowl. Fill the bowl with enough cold water to completely submerge the meat. Let the ribs soak to draw out excess blood and impurities, which ensures a cleaner tasting final dish.

   Tip: Change the water once or twice if the ribs are particularly bloody.
2. 2Marinate the meat

   

   Drain the soaked ribs and return them to the bowl. Add three spoons of char siu sauce, two spoons of light soy sauce, a few cloves of minced garlic, and three fresh lemon slices. Mix everything thoroughly until the ribs are evenly coated, then let them marinate for two hours.

   Tip: The acidity from the lemon slices helps tenderize the pork while adding a subtle citrus fragrance.
3. 3Roast the ribs

   

   Arrange the marinated pork ribs in a single layer on a stainless steel roasting tray, ensuring they have a little space between them. Place the tray into an oven preheated to 180°C and roast the ribs undisturbed for 30 minutes to cook the meat through.

   Tip: Lining your roasting tray with aluminum foil will catch the sticky drippings and make cleanup much easier.
4. 4Glaze and finish roasting

   

   Carefully remove the tray from the oven and turn each rib over so they cook evenly on both sides. Brush the surface of the ribs with a light layer of honey to create a sweet glaze. Return them to the oven for another 15 minutes until caramelized and ready to serve.

   Tip: Keep a close eye on the ribs during the last 15 minutes, as the honey glaze can quickly go from beautifully caramelized to burnt.
