Christie’s Maui Wowee Hawaiian BBQ Smoked Pork Ribs

Ingredients:

• 3 Racks of Swift Pork Backribs
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 3 Tbsp Spiceology Maui Wowee
• 3 Tbsp Christie Vanover’s Pork Rub

BBQ Sauce:

• 1 C brown sugar
• 1/2 C butter
• 1/4 C honey
• 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp Spiceology Maui Wowee
• 2 tsp Christie Vanover’s Pork Rub
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp kosher salt

Garnish and Side:

• 2 tsp sesame seeds
• 2 green onions (sliced)
• 3 C cooked white rice

Directions:

1. Heat Smoker: Set up your smoker to 250°F with an indirect heat zone, using fruit wood like apple, cherry or peach.
2. Season: Rub each rack of ribs on both sides with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Maui Wowee and 1 tablespoon Pork Rub.
3. Smoke: Place the ribs on the smoker over indirect heat and smoke at 250°F for 3 1/2 hours.
4. Make the Sauce: While the ribs are smoking, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a saucepot. Cook over medium-low heat, until all of the sugar is dissolved, about 10-15 minutes.
5. Sauce Ribs: After the ribs have been smoking for 3 1/2 hours, brush them with the sauce. Keep smoking them for 30 more minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 205°F.
6. Final Touches: Remove the ribs from the grill. Let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds and serve with rice.
