Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup or a 9 ounce jar of hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sake or white wine
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha hot chili sauce or another hot sauce
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced or pressed
  • 1 teaspoon five spice powder
  • 2 slabs of baby back ribs
  • ΒΌ cup of honey

Instructions
 

  • Mix the marinade ingredients together (everything but the ribs and the honey).
  • Soak the meat in a large plastic zip-lock bag for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the ribs from the marinade and bring the marinade to a boil on the stove to use as a baste.
  • Roast the ribs in a grill or smoker with low indirect heat for 3-4 hours. Baste both sides of the ribs with the marinade every 30 minutes or so.
  • Or you can baste the ribs and put them in a crock pot on low for 3 hours.
  • When the ribs are done cooking, place them meat side down on a grill over direct high heat until it browns and sizzles. Watch it so it does not burn.
  • Remove the ribs from the grill and pour the honey lightly over the meat side and spread it around with a brush or spoon. Put it back on the direct zone, honey side down, for 5 minutes or until it bubbles. Don't let it burn.
  • Garnish with green onion slices, orange zest, and sesame seeds. Cut into individual ribs and serve.
