Why This Recipe Is So Delicious
Cooking Hints
- Cook the ribs low and slow to ensure they become tender and fall off the bone.
- Brush the glaze on during the last few minutes of cooking to create a sticky, caramelized finish.
Directions
Mix the soy sauce and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl, then pop it in the microwave for about 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the chopped onion, sesame seeds, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to make a flavorful marinade. Slice the pork into thin cutlets, about a quarter-inch thick, and lay them out in a dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure each piece is coated, then cover and pop it in the fridge for at least 4 to 5 hours—overnight if you have time, especially if your slices are a bit thicker. When you’re ready to cook, heat your oven to 350°F. Arrange the pork cutlets on a nonstick, oven-safe pan, saving the leftover marinade for later. Bake the pork until it reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, which should take around 15 to 20 minutes. While the pork is resting, heat up the reserved marinade in the microwave until it starts to boil, then drizzle it over the cooked pork for a delicious glaze.
