Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 275°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Remove membrane from the baby back ribs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Pat dry the ribs with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small dish add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and mix together. Sprinkle the dry rub all over the top of the ribs and rub in.
Step 3
Cover the ribs with another piece of foil and seal the two foil pieces together, so the ribs are not uncovered at all.
Step 4
Bake for 3 hours or until the ribs are tender, remove from oven and remove foil.
Step 5
To make the sauce: In a small bowl, add the date sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, and lime juice and mix together.
Step 6
Using a pastry brush brush on about half of the sauce. Bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from oven, and brush on the remaining sauce and bake again for 10 more minutes. Upon coming out of the oven, top with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
