Super Easy Oven-Baked Ribs (Cambodian-Style)

If you love pork ribs then check out this super easy oven-baked ribs! I’m not a big fan of pork but when it comes to ribs, I cannot resist! It’s actually one of my favorite meats to eat alongside grilled chicken wings, especially during the summertime. Nothing beats grilled pork ribs or chicken served with rice (or sticky rice) and a side of papaya salad, it is so delicious!

Unfortunately, we have more cold days than summer days here in Minnesota so I have to go with the alternative. Thankfully, the alternative is just about as satisfying as the actual grilled version. The fact that we’re baking these also makes me happy and feel less guilty about eating pork. Try these oven-baked ribs for yourself!

Ingredients

• 3.5 lbs of pork ribs, separated from rack

• 2 tbsp of sugar

• 1 1/2 tbsp of fish sauce

• 1 tbsp of soy sauce

• 1 tbsp of garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp of MSG

• 1/2 tsp of onion powder

• 1/4 tsp of basil leaves

• 1/8 tsp of black pepper

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the rack with nonstick cooking oil.
• Separate the ribs by cutting into single pieces (I prefer this way as opposed to baking the entire rack of ribs so that the seasoning can completely cover the surface of the meat and it cooks more thoroughly).
• Add ribs to a large mixing bowl then add in the seasonings.
• Mix well by using a brush to ensure every piece of rib is evenly coated.
• Place ribs onto rack. Set timer for 40 mins.
• Flip ribs and cook for an additional 40 mins.
• Carefully remove from oven.
• Place onto dish and serve. I like to pair this with a side of rice but you can also opt for mashed potatoes.

Notes

• Because I’m a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 toddler), this amount of meat cannot be consumed in one sitting so I like to store the other half in the fridge to bake the following day. It actually taste better the next day since it has more time for marination.
