Sticky Asian Pork Ribs

Preheat the oven to 275 ˚F. Pat the ribs dry and cut them into 2 portions. Combine all the rub ingredients together. Generously coat the ribs and rub the spices into the meat. Cover first with plastic wrap and then with foil. Make sure the meat is covered tightly.

Bake the ribs in a baking pan for about 3 to 3.5 hours or until the ribs are tender. While the ribs are cooking you can make the glaze.

To make the glaze heat the sesame oil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 2 minutes or until fragrant, then add the rest of the glaze ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5-7 minutes or until thickened. The glaze will thicken more as it cools.

Unwrap the ribs and slather them generously with the glaze. Put the ribs, uncovered on a baking sheet under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until lightly charred. Remove from the broiler and slice into individual ribs.

Garnish with more sauce sesame seeds and green onion curls. Serve with glasses of Late Harvest Tempranillo.
