Directions

  1. Combine the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic cloves, & green onions. Whisk to combine the ingredients. Pour marinade over the pork ribs. Let them marinate for 4 hours.

  2. To make the spice rub, combine cumin, paprika, togarashi, garlic & onion powder, After the ribs are done marinating, rub them down with this spice mix.

  3. Smoke ribs at 250-275 degrees for 3.5-4 hours. Cook to an internal temperature of 145 with a 3 minute rest.

  4. To make the sauce, combine the sweet chili sauce, Hoisin sauce, Ketchup, mustard, vinegar and ghost pepper. De seed the pepper by cutting it in half and removing the seeds. Add the pepper to the smoker where the ribs are. smoke for up to 30 minutes. This will add an additional smokey flavor to the sauce. After the ghost pepper has smoked, add it to the sauce pot with the other components to the sauce, and let it simmer on the grill with the ribs. When the sauce is hot pour the ingredients into a blender. blend to a sauce consistency.

  5. After the ribs have been cooking for 3 hours, start to brush sauce on them. Make sure the ribs are nice and tender, but still have a nice bite. Garnish finished ribs with green onions or sesame seeds, or both.

  6. To pair with broccolini, arrange it on a baking sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil,  sprinkle chopped garlic, lemon zest and chili flakes, and then toss to coat. Place it on the grill at medium heat for 7-10 minutes. Remove and plate it with spare ribs. Enjoy!
