Remove the par-boiled rib tips from the water using tongs and drain them thoroughly. Place the hot rib tips into a large resealable plastic bag or a non-reactive dish. Pour the prepared char siu marinade over the rib tips, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate to marinate overnight, or for at least 8 hours, for optimal flavor.

The following day, preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, then place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

Bake the rib tips for 45 to 60 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a desirable caramelized color. During baking, baste the rib tips every 15-20 minutes with the reserved marinade. If the marinade runs low, you can add a tablespoon of honey mixed with a tablespoon of warm water for additional basting.

While the rib tips are baking, you can prepare an optional thickened glaze. In a small saucepan, heat any remaining reserved marinade over medium heat. If desired, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering marinade, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Note that the creator advised this may make the glaze slightly cloudy. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Once the rib tips are fully cooked and nicely caramelized, remove them from the oven. If you prepared the thickened glaze, transfer the baked rib tips to the saucepan with the glaze and toss them gently to coat evenly. If not using a thickened glaze, you can simply serve them as is, or brush with a little extra honey for shine.
