Chinese Restaurant BBQ Ribs
- 1 rack baby back pork ribs (2 to 3 pounds), membrane removed (see page 64)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup hot Chinese chili sauce (sriracha) or ketchup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Note)
- HEAT the oven to 350F.
- CUT the ribs into 1- to 3-rib sections.
- Place the ribs in a roasting pan or on a large rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
- To make the sauce, Combine the honey, chili sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Pour the sauce over the ribs and toss until well coated.
- BAKE the ribs uncovered for 1 hour, basting periodically with the accumulated drippings.
- Check for doneness.
- The rib meat should be chewy-tender and start to pull away from the bone.
- SPRINKLE the ribs with the sesame seeds.
- To toast sesame seeds, sprinkle them in a small skillet.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
- We cheat and buy them already toasted at well-stocked supermarkets and specialty grocery stores.
