Ribs and Glaze

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Rub the pork ribs with black pepper and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Hoisin Glaze

    In a small saucepan, combine hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and a pinch of black pepper. Heat over medium heat until warm and well combined.

  3. 3

    Soak Wood Chips

    Soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the soaked hickory wood chips in the smoker. Add the ribs and smoke for about 4 hours, basting with the hoisin glaze every hour.

  5. 5

    Prepare Rice

    While the ribs are smoking, prepare the rice according to package instructions.

  6. 6

    Finish the Ribs

    Once the ribs are tender and have a nice glaze, remove them from the smoker, let rest for 10 minutes, and then slice.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the smoked ribs over a bed of cooked rice, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped chives.
