Ingredients

1 rack baby back ribs
½ cup hoisin sauce
¼ cup honey See Note 1.
¼ cup chili paste see Note 1.
¼ cup dark sweet soy sauce See Note 2.
¼ cup sesame oil
2 Tbsps ginger
scallions for garnish optional

Instructions

Rinse ribs with cold water.
Place ribs in a large stock pot. You may have to cut the rack in half or thirds to submerge the ribs. Bring the water to a boil and simmer 1 ½ to 2 hours until the meat pulls away from the bone.
Strain and cool the ribs.
Mix the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil in a large sauce pan. Slice ribs in to individual portions. Add the ribs to the sauce in the pan and cook until sauce is caramelized - about 5-7 minutes.
Serve garnished with scallions if desired.

Notes

Note 1: traditional Asian chili past is unsweetened. I used sweetened chili garlic sauce so I omitted the honey.

Note 2: Dark sweet soy sauce, also known as Kecap Manis or Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce, is available in Asian grocery stores or on line but it is simple to make your own. See dark sweet soy sauce recipe here.
