Oriental Braised Pork Ribs

The husband hates five spice and got me really worried if this dish will be a success.. and here's what happened after 10 minutes:

Spoils of war

Relatively simple to prepare :)Turns out, all the hate for five spice were immediately thrown out the window upon eating the ribs - a big relief! :)

Ingredients: 

2 Pounds of Pork Ribs, cut into individual ribs

1/2 Tbsp. Five Spice

1/2 Cup Hoisin Sauce

1/4 Cup Shao Xing Rice Wine

1/4 Cup Honey

1/4 Cup Agave Nectar (or Honey)

2 Tbsp. Light Soy Sauce

Steps: 

1. Rub five spice evenly into the ribs

2. In a zip lock bag, add hoisin sauce, shao xing wine, honey, agave nectar, and soy sauce. Mix well. 

3. Add in the pork ribs. Marinate overnight. 

4. Preheat broiler 225°C for 10 mins with the rack, make sure that you use a low rack (at least 4 inches away from the heat). Preheating the broiler can produce a crispier outside coating.

5. Remove excess marinade from pork ribs. Line them up in the broiler rack. Set aside excess marinade.

6. Cook for 20 minutes.

7. Brush marinade into the ribs and cook for another 5 minutes.
