Toppings (optional)
Prep the ribs
Pat ribs dry and remove the silver skin from the back.
Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper underneath to prevent sticking.
Mix together the spice rub ingredients and rub all over the ribs.
Make the marinade
In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients.
Set aside about ⅓ cup for glazing later.
Brush the remaining marinade all over the ribs.
Optional: Marinate ribs for at least 1 hour, or overnight for even more flavor.
Bake low & slow
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Wrap ribs tightly in foil, meat side up.
Bake for 3 hours, or until very tender.
Glaze & finish
Carefully unwrap the ribs. Increase oven temp to 425°F (220°C).
Brush ribs with reserved glaze.
Roast uncovered for 10–15 minutes, brushing once more halfway through, until sticky and caramelized.
Rest & serve
Let ribs rest for 10 minutes.
Slice between the bones and garnish with scallions and chopped peanuts.
