Char Siu Ribs & Pork Wontons with Sugar Snap Peas
To start today's adventure, I marinated a rack of spares overnight in a mixture of Hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, tabasco, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed ginger, five spice and some other stuff. I also marinated the rib tips and trimmings.
This afternoon, I fired up the UDS and smoked the ribs for 2 hours at 250, foiled with some of the marinade mixture I had reserved plus honey and some beer ('cause I had one in my hand). I cooked the ribs in the foil for another hour then poured the balance of the marinade mixture on top as a glaze.
Ribs off the grill and cut 'Hollywood Style' to serve with dinner. Let's call them Char Siu Ribs for fun.
I cooked the rib tips and trimmings the same way but obviously took them off earlier so as not to overcook. After the rib trimmings cooled, I chopped them up fine and mixed with chopped green onion, soy sauce, honey and housin sauce. I prepared some pork wontons as follows:
When it was all ready to serve, I plated with some sugar snap peas and some noodles. It was a good dinner for Super Sunday. The wontons were over the moon.
When the smoke had all cleared and we were doing the dishes, my wife handed me a fortune cookie. Needless to say, I was chagrined.
Enjoy!
