Ingredients

  • 3 pounds pork back ribs, cut into pieces between bones
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
  • ½ teaspoon peppercorns, crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a pot over medium heat, combine pork ribs, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that may float on top.
  2. Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 1 to 1-½ hours or until ribs are fork-tender. Remove ribs from pot and set aside.
  3. Add bread crumbs, honey, and butter to the adobo sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes. 
  4. Spread bread mixture on the ribs and arrange the ribs in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake in a 375 F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use a whole slab of pork ribs to make and spread the topping on top. I like to use individual ribs as they're easier to fit in a pot to cook plus, they bake into more crispy edges and caramelized surfaces.
  • Allow the vinegar to boil uncovered and without stirring for a few minutes to cook off the strong acid taste.
