Ingredients

  • 4 pounds pork spareribs
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, ketchup, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
  2. Place the spareribs in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the spareribs from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
  4. Grill the spareribs for about 10 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Baste the ribs with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
  5. Remove the spareribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onions for garnish.
  6. Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot. Enjoy!
