Ingredients

2 racks back ribs approx 6 lbs.
salt and pepper for seasoning

Asian Rib Sauce

½ cup sesame oil
1 cup honey See Note 1.
1 cup soy sauce I used low salt Tamari
½ cup Asian Chili paste See Note 1.
1 teaspoon garlic minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325℉. Prepare enough foil to fully wrap each rack of ribs.
Remove silver skin from back of rack of ribs. See Note 1 for spare rib instructions.
Salt and pepper both sides of the rack of ribs and enclose tightly in foil.
Lay foil wrapped racks on a rimmed baking sheet and bake 2 ½ hours.
While ribs are baking mix all sauce ingredients together until evenly combined.
Remove foil and brush sauce generously over the racks. Return to the oven for another ½ hour brushing generously on both sides with more sauce twice more about 10 minutes apart. If you want sauce to thicken, turn broiler and move ribs up to about 6 " below broiler. Broil about 5 minutes, with meaty side up. Watch racks carefully so they don't burn.
Slice ribs into sections to serve. Heat extra sauce and pass separately.
Leftover ribs keep well in the fridge for a few days. Ribs and sauce can also be frozen. well sealed up to 3 months. Reheat gently uncovered.

Notes

Note 1: Traditional Asian Chili paste is not typically sweet. If you are using unsweetened chili paste use the full cup of honey. I used a sweetened chili garlic sauce so I reduced the honey to ½ cup and the sauce is still very sweet. If you are using a sweet chili sauce, you could consider omitting or reducing honey even further if you want to keep the sweetness factor down. In that case, taste the sauce after you have combined all your ingredients and adjust to taste.

Note 2: For Spare ribs, season ribs with salt and pepper and lay directly on a baking sheet or grill. Cook 45-50 minutes turning frequently. Baste ribs generously with sauce and cook 10-15 minutes more. Cut ribs into sections, heat remaining sauce and serve separately.
