Ribs Marinade and Glaze

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Ribs

    Place the pork ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Drain the wood chips and add them to the smoker box.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the marinade (reserve the marinade for glazing). Place the ribs in the smoker, bone-side down, and smoke for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.

  5. 5

    Glaze the Ribs

    During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the reserved marinade over the ribs every 10 minutes for a sticky glaze.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives and sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
