Ingredients
RIBS
- 2 racks baby back pork ribs
- 2 teaspoon salt
SAUCE
- 6 tablespoon kecap manis*
- ¼ cup root beer
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce (also called Thai chili sauce)
- 2 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce
Instructions
SAUCE
- In a large glass measuring cup combine kecap manis, root beer and both chili sauces. Set aside ½ cup of sauce for serving. Use the remaining sauce to brush the ribs when on the grill.
RIBS
- Let ribs sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Sprinkle the meat side of the ribs with salt. Place on a lightly oiled baking pan and cover with foil. Bake in oven for 2 hours. The meat should be tender but not falling off the bone. Ribs can be prepared to this point a day in advance. Return to room temperature before finishing on the grill.
- Brush ribs on both sides with sauce. Finish ribs on the grill, turning once, until nicely lacquered, about 15 minutes total. Remove from the grill.
- Using a sharp knife cut into individual ribs sections and serve. Serve with the reserved sauce drizzled over the ribs.
Notes
*Kecap manis is a sweet Indonesian soy sauce that is typically contains wheat. I make my own using gluten free soy sauce. Click here for the recipe, kecap manis.
