Ingredients

• Pork ribs - 500 grams
• Soy sauce - 60 ml
• Rice vinegar - 30 ml
• Sugar-free hoisin sauce - 30 grams
• Garlic - 3 cloves (minced)
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon (grated)
• Five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Chili flakes - 1 teaspoon (optional)
• Green onions - 2 (sliced for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar-free hoisin sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, five-spice powder, sesame oil, and chili flakes to create the marinade.
3. Place the pork ribs in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
4. Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil. Reserve the marinade for later use.
5. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, until tender.
6. After 90 minutes, remove the foil and brush the ribs with the reserved marinade. Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and slightly crispy.
7. Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then slice between the bones and serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
