How to Make Asian Style Baby Back Ribs

  1. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup molasses, 1 tablespoon garlic salt, 1 tablespoon onion powder, and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Brush the rib mixture generously over the ribs.
  4. Place ribs on a rack in a small, shallow roasting pan.
  5. Cover and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 1 hour, or until tender.
  6. While the ribs bake, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup pineapple juice concentrate, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  7. Bring the glaze to a boil over medium heat.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
  9. Coat the grill rack with cooking spray.
  10. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  11. Brush ribs generously with some of the glaze.
  12. Grill for 8-12 minutes, turning frequently and brushing with additional glaze, until browned and caramelized.
  13. Serve immediately with the remaining glaze on the side.
  14. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
