How to Make Chinese Five Spice Ribs

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all rub ingredients (see below).
  3. Place ribs on a wire rack set inside a foil-lined baking pan. Generously rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the ribs.
  4. Bake ribs meat-side up for 2 hours, or until each rack bends easily in the middle when lifted with tongs.
  5. While ribs are baking, whisk together all sauce ingredients in a separate bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.
  6. **Tip:** These ribs can be baked ahead of time and reheated, making them perfect for large gatherings or meal prepping!
  7. **To reheat:** Bake partially covered with foil at 250°F (120°C) for 30 minutes, or until heated through.
