ASIAN BARBECUED RIBS – TANTALIZINGLY SMOKY, STICKY, SALTY, SWEET

Ingredients
1/2 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey
3 Tablespoons lite soy sauce
2 teaspoons chili paste if desired (we used 3 teaspoons - we like it spicy)
1/3 cup finely chopped green onions
1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
2 green onions cut on diagonal for garnish
3.5 lb. pork spareribs Trim off back membrane. Season with your favorite Asian rub we used Five-Spice. Cover with plastic wrap and set in refrigerator for at least two hours.
Instructions

1. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature.
2. Heat grill with indirect with indirect heat -- 250 to 275 F.
3. In small bowl, combine all of the ingredients except spareribs; mix well and set aside.
4. When grill is ready, place the ribs meaty side up on the opposite side of the coals. Cover; cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender. It may take less time. Keep an eye on the meat. If the meat looks like it is drying too much lightly spray the ribs with apple cider vinegar.
5. Pour some of the Asian sauce into a saucer or bowl -- you will baste the ribs on the last 30 minutes of cooking. Brush frequently with additional sauce. Remove from grill and cover tightly with foil and let the meat rest for 30 minutes in a cold oven.
6. To serve, cut the ribs apart carefully with a knife and arrange on platter. Serve with additional sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion.
