Shanghai BBQ Ribs

Shanghai BBQ Ribs are tender and flavorful, marinated in a savory blend of spices and coconut aminos, delivering a unique twist on traditional Chinese barbecue. Perfectly grilled, these ribs are a delightful treat that embodies the essence of Paleo cuisine.

Ingredients

• Pork ribs - 500 grams
• Coconut aminos - 60 ml
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, grated
• Five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, five-spice powder, black pepper, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
2. Place the pork ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Remove the ribs from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
4. Grill the ribs for about 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char. The internal temperature should reach at least 70°C (160°F).
5. While grilling, you can brush the ribs with any leftover marinade for extra flavor.
6. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the ribs garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
