Ingredients

  • Pork baby back ribs rack
  • Marinade:
  • 4 tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp of white wine
  • 1 tbsp of sesame oil
  • 4 cloves of crushed garlic
  • 1 ½ tsp of freshly minced ginger
  • ¼ tsp of Chinese five-spice blend
  • ¼ tsp of freshly ground black pepper
  • BBQ Sauce:
  • 3 tbsp of hoisin sauce (like Lee Kum Kee)
  • 3 tbsp of honey
  • 1 tbsp of sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp of white wine
  • 1 tbsp of brown sugar
  • ⅛ tsp of Chinese five-spice mix
  • ¼ tsp of garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp of freshly ground black pepper

Step 1

Gently remove the membrane from the bone side of the ribs, if desired, to enhance tenderness. Use a fork to puncture the meat all over before placing the ribs in a convenient resealable plastic zip-top bag.

Step 2

Create a flavorful marinade by combining soy sauce, white wine, fragrant sesame oil, minced garlic, fresh ginger, aromatic five-spice, and a dash of black pepper. Pour this delicious mixture over the ribs in the bag, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag and allow the ribs to marinate for at least an hour, although overnight marination is recommended for maximum flavor infusion. Remember to give the bag an occasional shake to evenly distribute the marinade.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the ribs from the marinade and transfer them to a greased baking pan, discarding any excess marinade. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven, turning them once during cooking, until the meat easily pulls away from the bone, typically in about 50 to 55 minutes. To ensure they are perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 4

While the ribs are baking, prepare a tantalizing BBQ sauce by mixing hoisin sauce, sweet honey, sesame oil, white wine, rich brown sugar, five-spice powder, garlic powder, and a hint of pepper. Preheat your outdoor grill to a medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Keep the ribs wrapped in aluminum foil to retain their warmth until you are ready to grill them.

Step 5

Grill the ribs over medium-low to medium heat, generously brushing them with the flavorful BBQ sauce throughout the cooking process. Aim for a lusciously thick sauce coating and perfectly heated ribs with enticing grill marks, which usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Be cautious not to overcook the ribs as it may cause them to dry out. Slice the ribs before serving to enjoy the delicious flavors you have created.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Marinate with a Twist : Before storing your BBQ pork ribs, consider marinating them in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger for added flavor. This extra step will infuse the ribs with delicious Chinese-inspired taste.
  2. 2. Wrap it Right : To keep your ribs moist and flavorful, wrap them tightly in foil before placing them in the fridge or freezer. This will prevent the meat from drying out and preserve its juicy texture.
