Ingredients  

  • 1 rack Pork spareribs
  • Da Kine Hawaiian Smokey Rub (or your favorite BBQ rub)
  • Maika'i Korean BBQ Sauce
  • Liquid smoke, to taste
  • Green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions 

  • Start by trimming any loose or hanging pieces off your spareribs—those bits can burn easily. (Pro tip: save the trimmings! Freeze them and use them later for pork adobo.)
  • Flip the ribs over and remove the silver skin (thin membrane on the back side along the bones). This helps the seasoning soak in and makes the ribs more tender.
  • Rub a few dashes of liquid smoke over the ribs. This acts as both a binder and a way to add that smoky flavor without a grill.
  • Generously coat the ribs on all sides with Da Kine Hawaiian Smokey Rub pressing it in firmly so it sticks.
  • Place the ribs on a sheet pan and bake in a preheated 250°F oven for about 3 hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 205°F. This is the sweet spot where the ribs become ultra tender.
  • Once cooked, slather the ribs with Maika‘i Korean BBQ Sauce.
  • Turn the oven up to 400°F return the ribs to the oven, and bake for another 5–10 minutes, just until the sauce becomes tacky and sticks beautifully to the meat.
  • Slice between the bones plate the ribs, and garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
