I found a frozen rack of ribs in my freezer, left over from some giant meat fest I did earlier this year. I've been wanting to play around with ribs done in the oven, and decided on something Asian inspired. After looking through several recipes, I got the general idea of what I wanted to do.
1. Line a baking sheet with foil (really reduces clean-up later.)
2. On another piece of heavy duty foil, place your ribs, either whole rack or cut in half as you see in the pic. Liberally salt and pepper them, then seal them up in foil. Before you close it up, add about 1/4 cup of water so there is moisture in the foil pack. Seal, place the pouch on the covered baking sheet and put in a 300 degree oven for two hours.
3. Glaze: I basically used equal parts of: Honey, Hoisin, soy and rice wine vinegar. To that I added 1 teaspoon of powdered ginger and 1/2 teaspoon on chili flakes. More if you like it hotter.
4. Open up the foil pack of ribs, exposing them completely. Leave the pouch on the lined baking sheet and brush with the initial coating of your glaze. Put the ribs back in the oven UNCOVERED for another hour, re-basting every 15 minutes.
These ribs were so tender, and the glaze was just perfect. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
Eat Well!
