Ingredients Needed
To make honey-glazed spare ribs, you will need the following ingredients:
- Baby back ribs: 500 grams
- Honey: 2 tablespoons
- Shallots: 3, minced
- Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- Green onions: 2, finely chopped
- White sesame seeds: 1 teaspoon, pre-roasted
- Fresh chili: 2, sliced
- Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon
- Seasonings: fish sauce, salt, pepper, sugar, oyster sauce, MSG
Steps to Follow
Preparing and Deodorizing the Ribs
The first step in making honey-glazed spare ribs is to prepare the ribs. Wash the baby back ribs thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 cm). Then, place the ribs in a pot with a little salt and blanch them briefly. When the water boils, remove the ribs and rinse them with cold water to remove impurities and make the ribs firmer.
Marinating the Ribs with Honey
Next, marinate the ribs with the following seasonings: 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, ½ teaspoon of MSG, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of minced shallots and garlic, and 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce. Mix well and let the ribs marinate for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Preparing the Sauce
Prepare the sauce by mixing the following ingredients: 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of MSG, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, and the remaining honey. If you want a more vibrant color, you can add a little annatto oil to the mixture. Dissolve the cornstarch in warm water to thicken the sauce.

Braising the Ribs
First, heat a pan with a little cooking oil, then add the marinated ribs and lightly fry until they firm up and turn a beautiful golden color. Next, in another pan, sauté the minced shallots and garlic until fragrant, then add the prepared sauce and simmer over low heat. Add the ribs and stir well to ensure they are evenly coated with the sauce. Simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the ribs.
Golden ribs
Finally, turn off the heat, transfer the ribs to a plate, and garnish with green onions, roasted sesame seeds, and a few chili slices to make the dish more appealing.

Tips for Choosing Good Ribs
To ensure the honey-glazed spare ribs are perfect, choosing the right ingredients is crucial. Good ribs usually have a pale pink color, a dry surface, good elasticity when pressed, and no foul smell. It’s best to choose ribs with flat bones as they contain less bone and more meat, making them ideal for braising.
