Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a mixing bowl, combine salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Szechuan peppercorns, and brown sugar. Rub this spice mix evenly over the ribs.

Smoking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Soak the Kiawe wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  2. 4

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the ribs in the smoker and add the soaked Kiawe wood chips. Smoke the ribs for about 3 hours, or until they are tender, maintaining a constant temperature.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Prepare the Garnish

    Chop the chives finely. Once the ribs are done smoking, remove them from the smoker, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice into portions.

  2. 6

    Serve the Ribs

    Sprinkle the chopped chives and sesame seeds on top of the ribs before serving.
