PICS: Chinese BBQ Ribs - Char Siu

Will be interested to see the final results and hear your about your tasting of them.

Make me proud!

I love that stuff. Please take pictures if you can.

<-- looking forward to the pics.

how did it taste??

Just went in the smoker. Don't think I've ever seen ribs this color before.

Used about 3 tablespoons of the Char Siu Sauce and added a tablespoon of honey. Frankly I don't think the marinade did anything except make the ribs red. The sauce tasted pretty good, tasted like good smoked BBQ ribs with a Chinese BBQ sauce on them.

Your barbecue makes me feel like I've been to a Chinese restaurant. They look like they're supposed to. Nice job.

Here's a marinade recipe I used to prepare Char Siu. I used strips of pork butt vs ribs but it would work well either way. The flavor was excellent as I didn't finish the pork with anything else.

I used a 300 cook temp without wood. Using your oven would work equally well but advise cooking over a water pan to increase moisture.

Char Siu Marinade
3/4 c Hoisin sauce
1/2 c Soy sauce
1/2 c dry sherry or Mirin wine
1/3 c honey
1 T brown sugar
2 tsp 5 Spice

You won't get the radioactive red color but adding red food coloring would do the trick.

Them sure are a pretty rack of ribs, heck that's sorta like glow in the dark ribs...lol!

Look good and juicy too, nice job.
