Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place ribs in a large roasting pan and season well with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup chicken broth and cover tightly. Roast in the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender but not falling off the bones. Drain ribs well and cool to room temperature. Cut ribs into individual pieces and place in a large bowl.

To make marinade, combine the hoisin, honey, garlic, ginger and hot sauce . Toss 3/4 of the marinade with the ribs; cover and refrigerate as much as 48 hours. Refrigerate remaining marinade as well.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the ribs on a rack set over a cookie sheet, brush with reserved marinade and roast for 20 to 30 minutes depending on how long it takes to warm them through and brown them well. Serve warm sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and cilantro.
