Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Ribs

    Place the pork ribs in a large resealable bag or container. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  2. 4

    Cook the Ribs

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the ribs from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the ribs for 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and caramelized. If using an oven, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 1 to 1.5 hours, basting with the marinade occasionally.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare Optional Salad or Macaroni

    If serving macaroni salad, cook the macaroni according to package instructions, drain, and mix with mayonnaise. For a tossed salad, chop lettuce, tomato, and cucumber and toss together in a bowl.

  2. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled ribs on a plate alongside a scoop of rice and your choice of macaroni salad or tossed salad.
