About

This is my own version of Japanese BBQ sauce and all of the ingredients are top umami performers. The trick to all great ribs is to slow cook them first and you can do that by either boiling them or cooking them slowly in the oven. Once that’s done, they only need a char on the BBQ.

Ingredients

1 onion, quartered
3 racks pork baby back ribs, halved into 6 small racks
150 ml

Method

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the onion and ribs. Boil for 1 hour or for longer, if needed, until the meat is tender. Drain and pat dry.

In a small bowl, mix together the tamarind, garlic, mirin, rice vinegar, miso, soy, honey, chilli sauce and sesame seeds.

Preheat an outdoor grill or chargrill pan. Brush the meat with the oil and season well with sea salt and black peppe
