Ingredients

800 g Pork Ribs

Seasoning Rub

1 tsp White Pepper
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Chinese 5 Spice

Spare Rib Glaze

100 ml Hoisin Sauce
2 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Vinegar
1 tsp Chinese 5 Spice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 160°C (gas mark 3, 140°Fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or kitchen foil.
Add salt, white pepper and Chinese 5 spice into a small mixing bowl and mix together until evenly distributed.
1 tsp White Pepper, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Chinese 5 Spice
In a separate mixing bowl, make the Chinese spare rib glaze by mixing hoisin sauce, dark soy sauce, runny honey, vinegar and Chinese 5 spice.
100 ml Hoisin Sauce, 2 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce, 2 tbsp Honey, 1 tbsp Vinegar, 1 tsp Chinese 5 Spice
Coat the ribs in the dry seasoning rub, making sure both sides are evenly coated.
800 g Pork Ribs
Brush 1/3 of the spare rib glaze over both sides of the ribs and place them in the oven for 40 minutes.
At the halfway point (20 minutes), brush both sides of the ribs with half of the remaining glaze, reserving the rest for the next step. Place them back in the oven to roast for an additional 20 minutes.
(For the first 40 minutes, I like to place the ribs on a low shelf in the oven.)
After 40 minutes, increase the heat up to 200°C (180°C Fan, gas mark 6).
Take the ribs out of the oven and give it a final coating of the glaze on both sides. Position the ribs meat-side up and roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the glaze caramelises and chars around the edges.
(At this point, I like to move the ribs from the bottom shelf to the top shelf to help aid the caramelisation.)
