Ingredients

What you'll need:

  • 2 racks pork baby back ribs (approx. 2 lbs total)

For the marinade:

  • 4 tablespoons soya sauce
  • 4 tablespoons liquid honey
  • 6 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2" piece of fresh ginger root grated
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Dipping Sauce (optional):

  • juice of 4 limes
  • 2 tablespoons soya sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Method

  • STEP 1
    In a small glass bowl or resealable glass jar mix all the marinade ingredients well.
  • STEP 2
    Let sit to allow the flavors to blend while you prepare the ribs in step 2
  • STEP 3
    With the back of a teaspoon begin lifting the membrane on the back of the ribs near a bone.
  • STEP 4
    When you get enough of the membrane (also called 'silverskin') pryed up from the back of the ribs grasp it with a paper towel and peel it off the ribs.
  • STEP 5
    This membrane should always be removed, if it's left on it can cause the ribs to curl when they're cooking and they'll also be a bit tougher to chew when left on.
  • STEP 6
    Cut the two rib racks in half so you've 4 pieces.
  • STEP 7
    Place the ribs meat side up (bone side down) in a glass dish.
  • STEP 8
    Evenly distribute the marinade over the top of the ribs and rub to completely cover all the pieces.
  • STEP 9
    Pierce the meat with a fork all over after you've spread on the marinade - this will help the flavor penetrate the meat.
  • STEP 10
    Cover the ribs and refrigerate overnight.
  • STEP 11
    Oil the grates of the BBQ and preheat to 400F - 450F.
  • STEP 12
    When the grill is ready place the ribs meat side down (bone side up) and close the lid.
  • STEP 13
    Let the ribs brown up and give them the charred grill marks - usually about 7 or 8 minutes should do.
  • STEP 14
    Flip the ribs over (bone side down) and close the lid.
  • STEP 15
    Reduce the temperature to 350F.
  • STEP 16
    Let the ribs cook for 30 - 40 minutes and check on them.
  • STEP 17
    The meat should be shrinking back from the bone 1/4" or so.
  • STEP 18
    Keep checking on the ribs, you don't want them overcooked or they'll dry out.
  • STEP 19
    Depending on the size of ribs you're using really determines how long to cook them. The bigger and meatier they are the longer they'll take.
  • STEP 20
    Remove the bbq pork ribs from the grill and place on a cutting board.
  • STEP 21
    Cut the ribs into individual pieces between the bones.
  • STEP 22
    Its easier if you do this bone side up so you can see where to cut.
  • STEP 23
    Serve this as is or with the bbq pork ribs dipping sauce described above.
