Char Siu Style Pork Ribs

Oh well... Bombs Away Farkers! Looks like I get first strike!

Saturday night I had some really big plans that all got a little out of hand. I had 7 dishes planned for a "Far East Feast". I got all 7 dishes done preparing from scratch, but pictures were the casualty and as a result I did not get 2 of the dishes in one photo to enter a double whammy. Also, I had my parents there and really wanted to impress them at the same time... while having a drink or two and socialising etc... it was a bad combination.

Anyway, here's the recipe:

First, I made the 5 Spice powder from scratch.

Ingredients you see here are:

Cinnamon
Fennel Seeds
Sczechun Pepper Corns
Cloves
Star Anise

Toasted:

Ground:

Now onto the ribs. These were a pair of smaller Costco Spares, here with all the other ingredients.

Now, I know this bit might kill a few traditionalists out there, but this is a Far East TD, and yes... in my experience the ribs are always cut and marinated before grilling :tsk: So, in anycase, I thought I would do this despite the likely death threats. At least the marinade and the colour is then all over each bit and the resultant massive increase in surface area from cutting down, means these ribs can be grilled relatively quick and still be nice and tender and full of flavour and colour.

Then onto the grill:

Looking good! A few black bits from the honey and maltose burning... gotta be careful with that!:wink:

Here is the other dish I had going which was "Fire Chicken" AKA "Buldak" which is usually cooked in a skillet with a reduced sauce. I used the sauce instead for a glaze and it worked really well...

But anyway here is the throwdown PIC... The ribs were done and looked great. They were quite juicy, tender and were very tasty. The Char Siu recipe was pretty solid...

Anyway, thanks for looking. I was hoping to do a lot more but at least we all got fed and the food was OK.. It will be a long time though before I try 7 dishes from scratch with no help:shocked:

Cheers!
