If you're craving a dish that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, these Chinese-Hawaiian "Barbecued" Ribs are a must-try. Inspired by the fusion of Asian and island influences, this recipe brings together tender baby back pork ribs glazed in a rich marinade made from soy sauce, ketchup, dry Sherry, fresh ginger, and garlic, creating an irresistible depth of flavor. The ribs are slowly roasted to tender perfection, allowing the sweetness of the sugar to develop into a beautiful, caramelized glaze that clings to every bite.
What makes this recipe even more appealing is how it accommodates dietary preferences—it’s both gluten-free and dairy-free, making it suitable for a variety of eating plans without sacrificing taste. The preparation requires minimal hands-on time with the ribs marinating for at least three hours, or up to a day if you want to build even more flavor ahead of time. The cooking process is straightforward, roasting the ribs low and slow so they become juicy and fall-off-the-bone tender, then finishing with a glossy, browned glaze that adds a perfect touch of barbecue-style richness.
