Tender pork ribs coated in a fragrant, spiced marinade and baked to a glossy, caramelized finish with crispy cumin granules.

Ingredients

• 500 g pork ribs
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 2 tbsp cooking wine
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon
• to taste green onion
• to taste ginger slices
• to taste cumin seasoning

Instructions

1. 1Prepare and Place Ribs

   

   Place the rib pieces into a clean stainless steel mixing bowl to get ready for marinating.

   Tip: Ensure the bowl is large enough so you can easily mix the ribs with all the seasonings later.
2. 2Add Seasonings

   

   Pour the seasonings from a spoon onto the ribs in the bowl, including 2 spoons of light soy sauce, 2 spoons of cooking wine, 1 spoon of oyster sauce, 3 spoons of cornstarch, and 1 spoon of chicken bouillon.

   Tip: Measure the sauces carefully using a spoon to ensure the flavor balance is just right.
3. 3Incorporate Aromatics

   

   Add appropriate amounts of green onion and ginger slices into the bowl with the seasoned ribs.

   Tip: Green onion and ginger help remove gaminess and enhance the fragrance of the meat.
4. 4Mix and Marinate

   

   Use a gloved hand to thoroughly mix the ribs and marinade ingredients together in the bowl, then let them marinate for half an hour.

   Tip: Mixing by hand ensures every piece of rib is evenly coated with the rich sauce and aromatics.
5. 5Arrange Ribs on Foil

   

   Arrange the marinated rib pieces evenly across an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, leaving small spaces between each piece for optimal heat circulation.

   Tip: Line the baking sheet with foil to make cleanup easier and prevent the ribs from sticking.
6. 6Bake the Ribs

   

   Place the baking sheet loaded with the marinated ribs inside the preheated oven and bake at 200 degrees for 40 minutes, flipping them once in the middle.

   Tip: Flipping halfway through ensures both sides achieve an even, crispy texture.
7. 7Bake in Oven

   

   Place the baking sheet of marinated ribs into the preheated oven and bake at 200 degrees for 40 minutes, flipping once halfway through to ensure even crispiness.

   Tip: Flipping the ribs halfway through ensures even browning and crispiness on all sides.
8. 8Season with Cumin

   

   Take the freshly baked, crispy and tender ribs out of the oven, and generously sprinkle cumin seasoning over them to add a fragrant, savory finish.

   Tip: Sprinkle the cumin while the ribs are still hot so the spices adhere better to the surface.
