Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a blender and pulse until the ginger, garlic, and onions and well incorporated. Reserve 1/3 of the marinade for the sauce.
  2. Pour the rest of the marinade over the ribs (make sure they are fully covered with marinade). Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 days.
  3. Preheat smoker or grill.
  4. Pour off the marinade from the ribs and discard.
  5. Smear the ribs with yellow mustard then evenly sprinkle the other ingredients over the ribs and pack down gently.
  6. Smoke the ribs for 8-10 hours. If they are tender after 8 hours, you are done. If they need longer, place on a sheet pan (crust side up) with one cup of water, cover with butcher paper, then wrap the pan with foil and cook in the oven at 275°F until the meat is tender. (The water will evaporate.)
  7. Simmer the reserved marinade until the ginger, garlic, and onions have softened.
  8. Thicken with a bit of cornstarch slurry. You can serve this sauce on the side or use it to glaze the ribs.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
