Tips

  • Soak ribs in cold water for 15 minutes before marinating.
  • Marinade for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best.
  • Place ribs on a wire rack to remove excess marinade before grilling.
  • Grill on medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
  • If you don't have Asian pear, you can use apples as a substitute.
  • Use black gloves when mixing the marinade with the ribs to keep your hands clean and avoid staining your fingernails brown.
