soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, Chinese
five-spice powder, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade. b. Place
the racks of pork spare ribs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic
bag. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or
preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

the BBQ Sauce: a. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce,
ketchup, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, Sriracha sauce, minced garlic,
and grated ginger until well combined. Set aside.
- Cooking
the Ribs: a. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). b. Remove the marinated ribs
from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30
minutes. c. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire
rack on top. Arrange the ribs on the rack, meaty side up, and tightly
cover the baking sheet with another sheet of aluminum foil. d. Place the
ribs in the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours, or until the meat is
tender and starting to pull away from the bones. e. Remove the foil
covering and generously brush the ribs with the prepared BBQ sauce. Return
the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes,
or until the sauce becomes sticky and caramelized.
