Hi there,
I just downloaded what looks like a great recipe for BBQ ribs. My
husband and I just bought our first grill and I'm dying to try some
ribs. However, one of the ingredients listed in the sauce is Sambel
Olek. Can someone let me know what this is? If I can't find it, do you
think it's ok to leave it out? I've copied the recipe below. Rob
Rainford is one of my favourite grilling chefs 🙂
Baby Pork Back Ribs Yield: 4
Ingredients: Baby Pork Back Ribs
3 x full racks of baby pork back ribs, 8 ribs each Mildly
flavoured vegetable oil to brush on the cooking rack
Barbecue Sauce
1/2 cup of Hoisin sauce – (125ml)
2/4 cup of plum sauce – (60ml)
3/2 cup of oyster sauce – (125ml)
4/4 cup of red wine vinegar – (60ml)
5/3 cup of honey – (75ml) 2 tbsp of dark soy sauce –
(30ml) 2 tbsp of dry sherry – (30ml) 2 tbsp of sesame
oil – (30ml) 1 tbsp of Sambel Olek– (15ml) 1 tsp of five
spice powder – (5ml) 1 tbsp of pepper (15ml) 1 tbsp of
finely grated orange zest – (15ml) 8 cloves of finely
minced garlic
6/4 cup of finely minced ginger – (60ml)
Directions:
Baby Pork Back Ribs Thirty minutes (30 min) prior to cooking
the ribs, remove them from the fridge. Place the ribs on a
baking sheet and reserve the marinade for basting. Let the
meat come to room temperature.
Preheat grill to 300°F (150°C). Just before use, brush the
grilling rack with flavourless cooking oil.
Place ribs meaty side up (bone side down) in the centre of
the rack. Close the lid of the grill and regulate the heat
so that it remains at 300°F (150°C).
Grill the ribs until the meat begins to shrink away from the
ends of the rib bones, approximately 2 hours.
After 2 hours, begin basting the ribs every 5 minutes for a
total of 25 minutes until ribs are done.
To serve, cut ribs into individual ribs and serve warm.
Barbecue Sauce In a glass bowl combine all the ingredients
for the barbeque sauce and mix well. Rub over the ribs
making sure to coat the ribs evenly. Cover and refrigerate
for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
