Oven-baked Salt and Pepper Pork Riblets

 

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs pork riblets – cut into bite size
• 2 tablespoon olive oil (to brush)

Marinade:

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 2 teaspoon five spice powder
• 2 tablespoon rice wine
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Coating:

• 4 cloves garlic – roughly chopped
• 2 jalapeno peppers – thinly sliced
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add all the marinade ingredients and mix well. Then, add the bite-sized pork riblets and cover all areas of the riblets evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, overnight is better.
2. Pre-heat the oven under 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. In a baking sheet, brush the olive oil onto the sheet. Then, place each riblets onto the baking sheet and brush the riblets with olive oil as well.

7. Turn off the heat and quickly add the riblets into the skillet. Then, add jalapeno pepper and sprinkle with sea salt and white pepper. Toss all of them to evenly mixed.
8.  The riblets are ready to be served and it is great when it’s paired with warm fluffy rice.
