Asian Sticky Ribs

It is an absolutely gorgeous May long weekend in Vancouver, having spent the day outside in the yard and at the park. For the rare occasion I even was able to pick up a book for a bit too! The kids and friends are here tonight and I am making one of my favourite summer meals, my yummy Asian sticky ribs. The recipe is simple but what you need is time. This is why I was able to spend 2 hours reading even thought the house will be full shortly.

Asian Sticky Ribs
4 racks of baby back pork ribs
2 cups hoisin
1/2 sup soy sauce
1/4 cup sambal oelek (Vietnamese chili sauce)
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
2" pieces of ginger grated

Spilt the ribs into 3 pieces each. Heat the grill and bbq on each side for 10 mins or so till golden brown. Place in a parchment lined baking dish. Meanwhile, mix together the rest of the ingredients. Pour over the ribs. Cover with foil and bake in a preheat oven at 300'F for 4 hours. Now drink wine and relax. Remove ribs and cool slightly. If you like you can put them back on the bbq for about 5 mins a side to caramelize the sauce. Serve with a great salad, corn on the cob and tonight we are having homemade mac and cheese. Not to forget the wine paring. I will be serving the Sumac Ridge Gewurztraminer, a steal at under $15/bottle.
