Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 large bunch cilantro, washed, leaves coarsely chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Asian sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 lb. pork back ribs, cut into 2 racks
  • Vegetable oil

Method

  • 1. In a blender or food processor combine garlic, cilantro, and sugar; blend or process until ingredients form a paste. Add soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and vegetable oil. Pulse until well combined. Pour the mixture over the ribs in a large glass, plastic, or stainless steel container, turning ribs to coat well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Preheat grill. Remove ribs from the sauce, shaking off any excess. Reserve remaining sauce. Place the ribs on the grill meaty side down for 8 minutes. Flip and grill another 4 minutes. Transfer ribs to a 9x13x2-inch baking dish and pour reserved sauce over ribs. Cover with foil and bake 3 hours. Remove and serve immediately. Makes 2 to 4 servings.
