Chinese Style Char Siu Baby Backs

in Pork
Did one of my favorite Asian flavor profiles in the Egg the other day, Char Siu ribs. Cut them in individual bones, marinated them overnight and cooked at 225 for about 3 hours before finishing them with a little coat of honey/soy and hitting them with a little heat at the end to set. Also did a couple of Char Siu pork loin, but really prefer ribs or even better, strips of pork butt. The fat content really helps to make these great.

    Oh wow. Those look great. At what internal temp do you pull them, or do you go solely by cooking time?

    @Wolfie51sb For small ribs like baby backs, I go by general time, but mainly by the pullback of the meat on the bone. And with single cut bones, they're also easy to grab just one (or two) for a quick taste as well!

    @Mayberry There are a ton of classic Char Siu recipes out there, but I used Meathead's as a base then made a couple of my own "tweaks".

    Looks great.  If you want to keep from the plate Setter getting all messy, wrap it in foil.  That's what I do or turn it over after a steak cook and burn it off.  My guess that is what you do.

    I've never tried cutting the ribs up like that. 
    Great looking cook.

    Thanks @Ladeback69 I did that for the first few months I had my Egg, but have got a little lazy recently. Seems with most cooks, it's just as easy to scrape and burn anyway. With my long, messy cooks, I usually wrap and have a water pan as well.

    @GregW I don't usually section my ribs before cooking either, but for these and say beef short ribs, I love being able to have the marinade and/or rub on all the surface area.

    It sounds like a good idea to get more flavor in.

    Great Post, thanks for putting it up. I always have wondered where they got ahold of those short little ribs! Now I know, I'm gotta give them a try!
