How to Make 5 Spice Baby Back Ribs
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine 2 cups chicken stock, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 inch ginger (minced), 2 tablespoons five-spice powder, and 1/2 cup soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the ribs to the simmering liquid. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, turning the ribs halfway through.
- Remove the ribs from the liquid and set aside to cool slightly.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and boil the cooking liquid, reducing it until it reaches approximately 1/2 cup. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the ribs generously with 1/2 cup of your favorite Chinese barbecue sauce.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and slightly bubbly.
- While the ribs are baking, gently reheat the reduced cooking liquid. Once the ribs are done, drizzle the reduced liquid over them to add extra flavor and moisture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your amazing 5-spice baby back ribs!
