Shandong BBQ Ribs are tender, flavorful pork ribs marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, then grilled to perfection. This gluten-free dish embodies the rich culinary traditions of Shandong cuisine, making it a delightful choice for any barbecue lover.

Ingredients

• Pork ribs - 500 grams
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 60 ml
• Honey - 30 grams
• Rice vinegar - 15 ml
• Sesame oil - 10 ml
• Garlic (minced) - 3 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 tablespoon
• Five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili paste - 1 teaspoon (optional for heat)
• Green onions (sliced for garnish) - 2 stalks

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, five-spice powder, black pepper, and chili paste to make the marinade.
2. Add the pork ribs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
4. Place the ribs on the grill, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side until they have a nice char and are cooked through, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
5. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
6. Serve the ribs garnished with sliced green onions, and enjoy your Shandong BBQ Ribs!
