Ingredients
The Ribs
- 1 slab pork back ribs about 2 lbs
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- ½ tsp fresh black pepper
The Sauce
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ¾ cup water
- 1 tbsp corn starch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove membrane from the underside of the ribs. Cut ribs into serving portion size. For dinner plates, this is usually three bones per serving; as finger food, one bone per serving.
- Sprinkle garlic salt and pepper over both sides of the ribs.
- Place ribs in a large roast pan, bone side down, cover and roast for 1½ hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce.
- In a medium bowl dissolve the starch in about ¼ cup of cold water.
- Add the starch mixture and remaining ingredients to a small pot, stir well, and bring to a low boil until well blended and slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
- After the ribs have cooked for 1½ hours, drain the grease from the pan, turn over the ribs (bone side up), then pour the sauce over the ribs.
- Return the ribs to the oven and roast, covered for another 60 minutes.
Notes
Serve with Jasmine or fried rice and stir fried vegetables.
