Tips for Perfect Honey Garlic Spareribs
Choose the Right Ribs:
Use pork spareribs or baby back ribs for this recipe. Spareribs are meatier, while baby back ribs are more tender.
Remove the Membrane:
Peel off the thin membrane on the back of the ribs for a more tender result. Use a paper towel to grip and pull it off.
Marinate for Extra Flavor:
Let the ribs marinate in the sauce for 1-2 hours (or overnight) in the fridge for deeper flavor.
Adjust Sweetness and Saltiness:
If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the honey to ⅓ cup.
Use low-sodium soy sauce if you’re watching your salt intake.
Baking Soda Trick:
The baking soda helps tenderize the ribs and creates a foamy reaction that helps the sauce cling to the meat.
Baste Frequently:
Basting the ribs every 20 minutes ensures they stay moist and develop a sticky, caramelized glaze.
Broil for Crispiness:
