Honey Glazed Roasted Pork Ribs

These sticky, caramelized honey glazed pork ribs are perfected with a char siu base and a touch of lemon, then roasted to golden, tender perfection.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1Soak the pork ribs

   

   Cut the pork ribs into large, uniform pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Submerge the ribs completely in cold water to soak out the excess blood and impurities, ensuring a cleaner flavor for the final roast.

   Tip: Change the water once or twice during the soaking process to draw out impurities more effectively.
2. 2Prepare the marinade

   

   Slice the fresh lemon and mince the garlic cloves. In a large bowl, combine the cleaned pork ribs with three spoons of char siu sauce, two spoons of light soy sauce, the minced garlic, and the lemon slices. Mix thoroughly and let the meat marinate for two hours to absorb the flavors.

   Tip: The acidity of the lemon slices helps tenderize the pork ribs while balancing the sweetness of the char siu sauce.
3. 3Arrange and roast

   

   After marinating, arrange the pork ribs in a single layer on a metal baking tray, ensuring they are slightly spaced apart for even cooking. Place the tray into a preheated oven and roast at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.

   Tip: Line your baking tray with foil or parchment paper before arranging the ribs to make cleanup much easier.
4. 4Glaze with honey and finish

   

   Remove the baking tray from the oven and carefully flip each pork rib. Brush the surface of the meat with a light layer of honey to create a sweet, caramelized glaze. Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.

   Tip: Keep a close eye on the ribs during the final 15 minutes of roasting, as the honey glaze can burn quickly.
