Ingredients

3 pounds baby back ribs, cut into 3- to 4-rib sections
1/2 cup salt
1 carrot, thickly sliced
1 stalk celery, thickly sliced
1 onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic, smashed
One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thick
1 cup canned pineapple juice
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1/2 cup brown sugar

Oil, for brushing

Steps:

Place the ribs in a large pot, cover with cold water and add the salt, carrot, celery, onion, garlic and ginger. Bring the ribs to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the ribs are very tender but not completely falling off the bone, about 45 minutes.
While ribs are cooking, make the sauce. Combine the pineapple juice, chicken stock, brown sugar, hoisin, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, chile, Worcestershire sauce and 1 of the green onions in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until thickened.

Brush the sauce on the ribs and grill, brushing on more sauce occasionally, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the ribs to a platter, brush once more with the sauce, scatter with the remaining green onion and serve.

HAWAIIAN BABY BACK OVEN-ROASTED RIBS

Hawaiian Baby Back Oven-Roasted Ribs image

This recipe is for 4-5 pounds (4-5 racks) of back ribs, 1/3 cup Sherry can be substituted for the whiskey. Plan ahead the ribs have to marinate for 24 hours. You can also grill these ribs for about 9-10 minutes per side, I have made these on both my indoor and outdoor grill as well as in the oven. This is a killer recipe for back ribs!

SLOW COOKER BABY BACK RIBS

Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs image

These are the best I've had, short of the actual grilling method of course! This is a very simple recipe that I came up with a few years ago. It's not rocket science, just ribs cooked in the slow cooker and finished in the oven. This is what I do when I want ribs during the week and have to work all day. I'm eating them within a half-hour of getting home, and they turn out perfect every time!

Tips:

Choose high-quality baby back ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have good marbling.
Prepare the ribs properly. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat.
Use a flavorful marinade or rub. This will help to infuse the ribs with flavor.
Cook the ribs slowly and low. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall off the bone.
Baste the ribs regularly. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
Let the ribs rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian-inspired baby back ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create ribs that are fall-off-the-bone tender and bursting with flavor. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give this recipe a try.
