Chinese BBQ Ribs

asian bbq ribs

Serves 4

So good…and a little different you’ll love them. If you’re a beer person (and who isn’t with ribs?) pick up a some Chinese beer, Tsing Tao to go along with these.

Ingredients

  • 2 racks pork back ribs, about 4 pounds
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup Hoisin Sauce
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons 5 spice powder

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Place ribs and vinegar in a large baking or casserole dish – cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake 75-90 minutes or until very tender
  3. Mix soy, honey, hoisin, garlic and 5 spice powder – set aside Remove from oven and carefully lift off foil – watch out for steam
  4. Heat bbq to medium and place ribs meat side down without sauce – but you can baste the back with the sauce
  5. Cook until they start to develop grill marks, and turn over – now baste the top
  6. You could stop here after they grill a bit on this side, or you could baste them a bit more and then give them a couple more minutes meat side down
  7. Give them one extra basting after they’ve been removed, and just before you serve them
