Ribs- In the Mood For Something Different

GulfCoastSmoker · October 2014

So, I bought a couple of racks of spare ribs today, planning on cooking them this weekend. I have gotten to the point where I make a pretty good standard rack of ribs,with a standard rub (paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, etc.). But I'm looking for something a little different, something with a twist. Does anyone have any ideas? Or how bout ideas on what to do with the scraps from trimming the spare ribs, something besides beans.

Try using a Jerk rub

Try this for a different taste. http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Soy-SauceMarinated-Ribs just adapt for use on the egg rather than in the oven. If you can get "aloha" brand soy sauce, so much the better.

I did some awhile back with Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head rub. When I foiled them I added pineapple chunks, dark rum, honey, and turbinado sugar.

They were pretty good if I remember correctly.

I have done asian style ribs and they were pretty good. I loosely followed this recipe:

They turned out pretty darn good. I also added toasted sesame seeds after they were finished.

I made these Greek/Honey ribs a while back and they were amazing. Been meaning to do it again.

I also will recommend an Asian style. Here's a Thai style recipe from Pok Pok restaurant. I haven't made these, but I've done a couple of things from Pok Pok. Stick as close to the specified ingredients as possible. I used the honey glaze from the recipe on some chicken, and it was really good.
