- What you'll need:
- 2 racks pork baby back ribs (approx. 2 lbs total)
- For the marinade:
- 4 tablespoons soya sauce
- 4 tablespoons liquid honey
- 6 cloves of garlic minced
- 2" piece of fresh ginger root grated
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions
- In a small glass bowl or resealable glass jar mix all the marinade ingredients well.
- Let sit to allow the flavors to blend while you prepare the ribs in step 2
- With the back of a teaspoon begin lifting the membrane on the back of the ribs near a bone.
- When you get enough of the membrane (also called 'silverskin') pryed up from the back of the ribs grasp it with a paper towel and peel it off the ribs.
- This membrane should always be removed, if it's left on it can cause the ribs to curl when they're cooking and they'll also be a bit tougher to chew when left on.
- Cut the two rib racks in half so you've 4 pieces.
- Place the ribs meat side up (bone side down) in a glass dish.
- Evenly distribute the marinade over the top of the ribs and rub to completely cover all the pieces.
- Pierce the meat with a fork all over after you've spread on the marinade - this will help the flavor penetrate the meat.
- Cover the ribs and refrigerate overnight.
- Oil the grates of the BBQ and preheat to 400F - 450F.
- When the grill is ready place the ribs meat side down (bone side up) and close the lid.
- Let the ribs brown up and give them the charred grill marks - usually about 7 or 8 minutes should do.
- Flip the ribs over (bone side down) and close the lid.
- Reduce the temperature to 350F.
- Let the ribs cook for 30 - 40 minutes and check on them.
- The meat should be shrinking back from the bone 1/4" or so.
- Keep checking on the ribs, you don't want them overcooked or they'll dry out.
- Depending on the size of ribs you're using really determines how long to cook them. The bigger and meatier they are the longer they'll take.
