Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 piece baby back ribs Adjust to amount you're making
For the dry rub
- 1 part table salt
- 1 part paprika powder
- 1 part onion powder
- 1/2 part tumeric
- 1/2 part ground black pepper
- 1/4 part garlic powder
For the sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup ketjap manis
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Tabasco
- 1/4 cup raw cane sugar
- 2 tbsp of the rub
Instructions
- Prepare the ribs by taking of the membrane. Put a dull dinner knife between the bone and the membrane and lift it until you can get a finger underneath. Then pul it of.
- Next, you mix the ingredients for the dry rub. Sprinkle an even layer on both sides of the ribs.
- Fire up your smoker to a temperature of 140°C (284F). Put the ribs on the grates and close the lid.
- While the ribs are smoking you can make the sauce by putting the ingredients in a pan and let it simmer. The sauce is ready when the sugar is dissolved and you see a slow bubble appear.
- The ribs are ready in 3 and a half to 4 hours and you can stick the probe of your thermometer in the meat without resistance.
- Then you brush the sauce on with a thin but even layer. That’s easy to do when the sauce is still warm.
- Let the sauce heat up on the ribs so it caramelized and gets sticky. Take them out of the smoker and serve immediately.
