Asian Ribs
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 T. ginger paste
- 2 t. five spice powder
- 1 t. ground coriander
- large pinch kosher salt
- 1 rack baby back ribs
- 1/4 c. tart cherry preserves
- 1 T. honey
- juice from 1/2 an orange
- 2 T. soy sauce
- 2 T. Char sui sauce
Instructions
- Combine the garlic, ginger, five spice powder, coriander and salt in a small bowl.
- Rinse and pat dry the ribs. Rub all over with the spice mixture and set aside for at least an hour.
- Meanwhile, combine the preserves, honey, orange juice, soy sauce and char sui in a food processor and pulse until cherries are pureed. Remove to a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat half of a gas grill on high, leaving the other burners off for indirect cooking. Place the ribs on a double layer of aluminum foil, drizzle with some olive oil and seal. Place on the half of the grill that has indirect heat, close the lid and cook for 45 minutes.
- Unwrap the ribs and brush with some of the glaze. Reseal the foil and cook for another 30 minutes. Open the foil packet and check ribs for tenderness. If they need more cooking time, brush with more glaze, reseal and cook for another 15-20 minutes or until the meat is easily pulled from the bone.
- Reduce the flame on the direct heat side of the grill to medium. Remove ribs from foil and brush the bone side with the glaze. Place the ribs bone side down onto the direct heat and brush the tops, generously, with the glaze.
- Cook for a few minutes to set the glaze then flip the ribs and cook until the glaze is set and charred a bit.
