Asian Glazed Baby Back Ribs
My kids asked for ribs for dinner, and I was craving Asian food, so I made this Asian glazed baby back ribs recipe that I baked in the oven for a couple of hours. The ribs turned out tender and flavorful, and we all loved the sauce except for my daughter, who didn’t care for it. These Asian pork ribs paired well with Spicy Zucchini and Squash Spears and Vegetable Fried Rice.
Asian Glazed Baby Back Ribs
Ribs:
- 1 pack of baby back pork ribs
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
Asian Sauce:
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 dashes cayenne, to taste
How to Make Asian Glazed Baby Back Ribs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil (for easier clean-up).
Prepare the ribs by removing the silverskin membrane from the back of the ribs. See how to do it here.
Spread the minced garlic evenly over both sides of the ribs. Season, to taste, with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Place the seasoned ribs on a large piece of foil, then top with another piece of foil and roll all of the edges to make a sealed packet.
Place on the baking sheet and into the oven, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Make the Asian sauce while the ribs are baking by mixing the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, vegetable oil, and cayenne in a small bowl. Set aside. Set aside to allow flavors time to mingle.
After the ribs have cooked for 1 hour and 15 minutes, carefully open the foil-packed ribs, then slather with the sauce.
Place back into the oven, unwrapped, for 45 minutes, basting with pan juices every 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven to a cutting board, and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing them.
Serve with the pan juices on the side if desired. Enjoy.

If I knew those ribs were on your menu I would have been knocking on your door around dinner time. I know I would love that sauce.

Your daughter doesn’t usually pull the fussy routine, so maybe it was just a little spicy for her. It looks like a good way to prepare ribs.
these look finger licking good! Love asian flavor ribs and yours simply look perfect.
I love ribs! I’ll eat them any style, but they’re so good seasoned with Asian flavoring. Super recipe — thanks so much.
We love ribs and love Asian. This looks wonderful!
Wow, these ribs look incredible! I definitely need to add these to the menu soon!
These look SO good! One of my kids loves ribs more than anything else in the world. He usually has them with BBQ sauce, but I think he would enjoy the Asian twist. Thanks so much for the recipe. My mouth is watering.
