This was really good! The only changes I made were substituting sesame oil for vegetable oil and adding a tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds when whisking in the honey and hoisin sauce. A definite keeper!

Delicious! I bought ribs at the supermarket, but when I got home I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with them. The recipe sounded good and easy, and it really was. The smell was amazing, and I love the combo of honey and hoisin sauce with pork. The ginger and garlic added to it without being overpowering. My DH's only complaint was that there wasn't anymore! Thanks for sharing!

Delicious recipe for ribs. Made this with friends for July 4th get together and they were a big hit. Loved the flavors and the sauce. Thanks for the great recipe. ZWT4 for my Babes. Family Picks.
