asain style ribs

Smoked Asian-style ribs cooked in a sweet and sticky sauce are the best ribs you never knew you needed. They&#39;re the perfect combination of Asian flavors and traditional American-style BBQ techniques. Warm aromatic spices pair beautifully with wood smoke to create these sweet and tangy sticky ribs.

Smoked Asian Style Ribs

baby back ribs

Tablespoons smoked paprika

Chinese 5 spice powder

ginger

mustard

Kosher salt

pepper

½ teaspoon ground allspice

red pepper flakes

hoisin sauce

soy sauce

orange juice

brown sugar

rice wine vinegar

white grape juice or apple juice

garlic (crushed)

ginger root

scallion

cayenne powder

oz red pepper jelly

apple cider vinegar

sesame seeds (to taste)

scallion greens (cut

Preheat.

Preheat. Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F with a fruit wood smoke like apple or cherry wood. 

Prep the ribs.

Prep the ribs. Trim the ends of your baby back ribs and remove the membrane from the back. Combine all of the ingredients for the spice rub and sprinkle liberally on all sides of the ribs. 

Smoke.

Smoke. Place the ribs on the smoker, close the lid, and smoke for 2 hours.

Make the braising liquid.

Make the braising liquid. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the braising liquid. Whisk to ensure all of the sugar crystals have dissolved.

Increase the temp.

Increase the temp. Remove the ribs from the smoker, place them in an aluminum pan, and increase the heat in your smoker to 325 degrees F. 

Braise.

Braise. Pour the braising liquid over the ribs and flip the ribs over a couple of times to coat all sides. Flip the ribs so they are meat-side down, cover tightly with foil, and return to the grill. Cook at 325 degrees F for 3 hours, or until you see the bones sticking out of the meat about 1/2 inch. 

Increase the temp again.

Increase the temp again. Remove the pan of ribs from the grill and increase the heat again to 400-450 degrees F. 

Make the sticky BBQ sauce.

Make the sticky BBQ sauce. Carefully remove the ribs from the pan to a cutting board. Strain 2 cups of the remaining braising liquid into a medium saucepan. Add in the red pepper jelly and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sauce has reduced by 1/3.

Coat the ribs.

Coat the ribs. Slice each rack of ribs into individual ribs. Using tongs, dip each rib into the pan with the BBQ sauce until they are coated on all sides with the BBQ sauce.

Finish grilling.

Finish grilling. Return the ribs to the grill for 3-5 minutes, flipping each rib once to tighten the sauce and add just a little char to the edges of the ribs. 

Garnish and enjoy!

Garnish and enjoy! Remove all of the ribs to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the scallion greens. Serve with additional BBQ sauce, if desired.
