BBQ Heaven for Ribs Lovers: Asian Style Pork Ribs

  • 1 rack of pork ribs
  • Ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper

For the marinade

  • 4 cups of Soy sauce
  • 5 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • ½ Ginger root, chopped
  • 5 Garlic cloves
  • 1 Cinnamon stick
  • ½ bunch Cilantro


Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.

Never forget to cook with friends! A dash of friendship makes food taste so much better! Here, my good friend Corey is helping me season my marinade.

Separate the marinade in two batches. Rub the ribs with salt, pepper and ground ginger.

Marinate the ribs with half of the mixture.

Cover with aluminum foil and let rest over night, ideally.

Wrap ribs on foil and cook over medium heat on the grill.

Meanwhile, reduce the marinade over medium heat until you get a light syrup consistency. For the ribs, cook for 30-40 total, but 10 minutes before open the aluminum foil and glaze the ribs with the reduced soy sauce mixture.

This will insure that you get a crunchy glazed exterior, moist ribs, and a smokier flavor because of the direct contact with the BBQ’s smoke! Yum!

Remove from BBQ and let rest for 5 minutes! Otherwise the juices will run out of the meat and you will end up with a cardboard. I has some extra glaze so I added more, but it’s not necessary!

Cut and enjoy  with friends and cute dogs…

Here are the cute dogs! Here is Daphne…

Here is Chapo and Biscuit!

Happy 4th everybody!

    Asian flavours respond particularly well to anything on the BBQ, from hamburgers to ribs. They are a welcome change from the ubiquitous tomato based BBQ sauce. In our French restaurant we borrowed liberally from Asian Cuisine, and that was more than 25 years ago. Many of our grill recipes are on my blog Mrs. Butterfingers. I love sharing. Virginia

    This looks so wonderful! I’m not sure if you are able get your hands on 5 spice powder at your end; it would definitely up the “asian flavour”! :D

      You are such a mind reader! That is actually what I wanted to use on the first place, but it wasn’t my house and they didn’t have it, so I had to improvise! Thanks for your comments!
