Half Rack Double-Glazed Baby Back Ribs
This dish consists of a half rack of pork baby back ribs that are slow-cooked to “fall-off-the-bone” tenderness. The “double-glazed” name refers to the ribs being basted with sauce both during the cooking process and right before serving. They are typically slathered in your choice of Honey BBQ Sauce, Sweet Asian Chile Sauce, or Hot Honey Glaze (seasonal).
