SRF Asian Sticky Ribs

[Mason Dixon Bowhunta]

I had a shipment of Kurobuta Spare Ribs arrive from Snake River Farms yesterday http://www.snakeriverfarms.com/kurobuta-pork/ribs/kurobuta-spare-ribs.html. I wanted to try something totally different so I decided to try to make some Asian sticky ribs.

I brined the ribs overnight in a mixture of apple juice, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Rinsed them and coated them with EVOO, SPOG and tossed them on the UDS

While they were doing their thing, I mixed up a batch of Asian BBQ sauce using ketchup, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger and brown sugar. Let it reduce until it was thick and syrupy like Black Gold. Yes that's a Mickey Mouse cup in the background :roll:

Once the ribs probed tender I coated them with the sauce and let them glaze. Here is what they looked like coming off the smoker

Sliced them and topped them with sesame seeds

They were the perfect texture - bite thru tender

These DID NOT suck. The flavor and texture of the SRF ribs was amazing! The rich, decadent flavor of the pork paired perfectly with the sauce which had a sweet, salty, earthy flavor.

Next time I do these I will let the sauce reduce even more as they weren't as sticky as I was hoping for. I will also add some spice to the sauce for some kick.

Thanks for looking!

Look perfect mate, what spice are you thinking of?

I made some Berkshire ribs recently that I thought would've been perfect candidates for an Asian style flavor. Those look great.

I was thinking of either just adding some Siracha or maybe some gochujang if I can find it?

Looks excellent! I'm a fan of Asian sticky ribs but don't do them much. Thanks for the reminder.

How about some Chinese Five Spice powder? That would add the perfect touch, I think.

I was thinking Star Anise, but I do not know American Palates.

I like that idea. That way I could use it in the sauce and also rub it on the meat

I’ve never used star anise or 5 spice powder. That’s what I love about this site. Everyone is very encouraging and really challenge me to come out of my BBQ comfort zone

If you can find some true ground Thai red chili, you'll find that it adds heat without adjusting the flavor.

I highly recommend about 1-2 tsp in your marinade (no, it's not going to get crazy hot), about maybe 1/4-1/2 tsp in your sauce to give it a bit of "zip."

Great ideas above about the star anise and 5 spice...
