Ingredients

For the Ribs:

  • 1 rack Zaycon Foods Pork Loin Back Ribs membrane removed *
  • 4 tsps Chinese 5 spice
  • salt
  • pepper

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 Cup Honey
  • 1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Chicken Broth
  • 1 tsp White vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp + 2 tspsCoconut Aminos or Soy Sauce if not paleo
  • 1/2 tsp Sesame oil
  • 2 tsp Ginger diced
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic minced
  • Cilantro for garnish
  • Diced Green onion for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the rack of ribs on a large piece of tinfoil and rub with the Chinese 5 spice (about 2 tsps per each side of the ribs) and salt and pepper. Wrap tightly in the foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, heat your oven to 250 degrees and line a roasting panwith tinfoil. Place a large cooling rack in the center.
  • Place the ribs, bone-side up, into the roasting pan and cover the pan tightly with tinfoil. Roast until the ribs are tender and fall off the bone, about 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours. Mine were perfect at 3 hours.
  • While the ribs cook, combine all of the sauce ingredients (not the cilantro or green onion) in a large saucepan and bring to a boil on high heat. The boil the sauce, stirring constantly, until it just begins to reduce, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let come to room temperature.
  • Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven and preheat your broiler for 5 minutes. Once the broiler is heated, flip the ribs over so that the meaty side is up, and brush generously with half of the cooled glaze.
  • Place the ribs under the broiler and cook until a nice crust forms, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and brush with remaining glaze. Cover the pan with tinfoil, and let the ribs rest for 10 minutes.
  • DEVOUR.
