Ingredients

  • 4 lbs. baby back ribs
  • 2 tablespoons five-spice powder
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt

Sauce

Instructions

  • Remove the membrane from the rack of ribs. Season the ribs with five-spice powder and kosher salt. Massage the seasoning into the ribs. Once coated, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
    Two slabs of seasoned raw pork ribs are placed on a large rectangular baking sheet, ready for cooking.
  • Preheat the grill to 300-350ºF, remove the ribs from the refrigerator, and let them sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes to come to room temperature.
  • Once the grill comes to temperature, transfer the ribs to the grill and cook for 2 hours over indirect heat, flipping every 20 minutes.
    Two racks of seasoned ribs cooking on an open grill.
  • While the ribs are cooking, add all of the ingredients for the sauce to one bowl and whisk together until combined.
    A white bowl filled with a reddish liquid and finely chopped ingredients, with a spoon and a dollop of minced garlic on top.
  • When there is about 15 minutes left of the rib's cooking time, use a pastry brush to brush each rib with sauce.
  • Remove the ribs from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce and enjoy.
