Instructions:
- Prepare the Ribs:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the ribs into individual pieces or manageable sections. Place them in a single layer in a large baking dish.
- Make the Sauce:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, black pepper, and sesame oil (if using).
- Marinate:
- Pour the sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- Bake:
- Bake the ribs, covered, for 90 minutes. Baste the ribs with the sauce every 30 minutes to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Caramelize:
- Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake for another 20–30 minutes, basting frequently, until the ribs are caramelized and tender.
- Serve:
- Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for an extra touch.
Pro Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, finish the ribs on the grill for 5–10 minutes.
- Pair with steamed rice or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
