Asian-Style Baked Country Pork Ribs Recipe Melts In Your Mouth by Donna John

Country ribs are one of my favorite cuts of pork. Country pork ribs are tender, versatile, juicy and forgiving (they are hard to overcook). This Asian-style baked country pork ribs recipe follows all those rules, plus with strong Asian ingredients, is on flavor overload.

These high-protein, marinated pork ribs have a simple list of ingredients and bake in less than two hours. Here is your short shopping list for this pork recipe: country-stye pork ribs, brown sugar, soy sauce or tamari (for a gluten-free dinner use tamari), rice vinegar, ketchup, garlic powder, ground ginger, sriracha sauce, sea salt and black pepper. 

These juicy, Asian-inspired glazed pork ribs are a satisfying dinner served with your favorite side dishes. I served mine with a garden salad and pickled ginger, which helps cut through the richness of the ribs. Try it!

Cuisine: Asian / American
Prep Time: 10 minutes plus time to marinate
Cook Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours and 10 minutes plus time to marinate
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 - 3 pounds country-style pork ribs

Marinade/Glaze

• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (tamari is gluten-free)
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
• black pepper, to taste

Here's how to make it: 

1. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a plastic food storage bag or shallow dish. Squish or stir to combine.
   
2. Add the ribs and turn to coat completely in the marinade, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. (I marinated my ribs for about four hours.)
   
3. When ready to cook, remove the ribs from the marinade. Drain the marinade into a small saucepot. Place the ribs on a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. (If you have time, let the ribs sit for about 30 minutes before cooking to come to room temperature. If you don't have the time, that's fine.)
   
4. Seal the ribs tightly in the foil. Bake in a preheated 300-degree F oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or until they are fork-tender.
   
5. Before the ribs are done cooking, bring the marinade to a boil. Simmer, stirring, for about 3 minutes.
   
6. Remove the ribs from the oven and glaze generously with the marinade. (You can save some of the marinade for serving or use it all now. I saved a bit to drizzle on the ribs when serving.)
   
7. Put the ribs back into the oven, uncovered, for about 20 to 30 minutes more.
   
8. Garnish with green onions, if desired. Store any leftover ribs in an airtight container in the fridge to eat later or use in recipes like fried rice.
