How to Make Beijing Style Ribs

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cut the rack of ribs into individual rib portions.
3. Place ribs in a large, shallow baking pan lined with foil.
4. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5. While ribs bake, prepare the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon five-spice powder (or make your own: see step 16).
6. Remove ribs from oven and drain off excess fat.
7. Add ribs to the bowl with the sauce and toss to coat completely.
8. Return ribs to the baking pan.
9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
10. Bake for an additional 15-25 minutes, or until ribs are incredibly tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
11. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
12. **Alternative Five-Spice Powder (makes 1 tablespoon):** Combine 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground anise, and 1/4 teaspoon ground fennel.
