Two of the first gluten free ingredients I searched for were gluten free soy sauce and gluten free hoisin sauce. Both are used in this recipe for Hoisin Glazed Pork Ribs and they are now staples in my pantry.
Ribs, whether pork or beef, seem to cross all seasons and please everyone. They are fantastic slightly charred on the barbecue in the summer but also excellent in the dead of winter, slow cooked in the oven and falling off the bone delicious.
This recipe is one of those with a long list of ingredients that appeals to the adventurous cook. If you enjoy Asian cooking then these items need to be in your pantry and the long ingredient list will not really be a deterrent. In my opinion it doesn't matter if a recipe has five ingredients or ten, what matters is do I have them all when I want to cook. The beauty of a well stocked Asian pantry is that a recipe like this doesn’t take long to assemble. I pull out a 4-cup pyrex measuring cup and start pouring.

A Gluten Free Asian Pantry
Here is a list of some Asian ingredients you may want to add to your pantry. I especially like to support brands the provide helpful information on their websites and clearly identify their gluten free products. Lee Kum Kee has lots of gluten free products available. Here are a few brands I have found. Good luck and enjoy your Asian adventure!
- Hoisin sauce – several brands are available including Lee Kum Kee and Premier Japan
- Gluten Free Soy Sauce – Life Source, San-J, Kikkoman to name a few; for info on a comparison you can visit my blog post Gluten Free Soy Sauce vs Tamari Tasting
- Sherry – I buy WH Dry Sack sherry and use it in any recipe that calls for Chinese cooking wine.
- Oriental Sesame Oil – I like Kadoya brand best
- Preserved Chinese Black Beans - also called fermented black beans; for info I wrote a post on Fermented Chinese Black Beans plus a recipe for homemade Chinese Black Bean Sauce
- Chili Paste – Sambal Oelek and Sriracha
