Gingerly Glazed Asian Ribs

Ingredients
2 racks baby back pork ribs
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup sushi rice (can also use jasmine or short grain brown rice)
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Directions
Heat oven to 350. Place the ribs in a large roasting pan and season with one teaspoon pepper.

In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger and garlic; spoon half the glaze over ribs. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake until the ribs are tender, about 40-45 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the directions.

Heat broiler. Spoon off and discard all but 1/2 cup of the pan drippings. Cut the racks of ribs into individual ribs, return to the roasting pan and brush with the remaining glaze. Broil until just beginning to char, 2-3 minutes. Serve the ribs over the rice and drizzle with any cooking juices left and sprinkle with scallions.
