Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 1 cup hoisin sauce
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon yuzu* or fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 11–to-2 inch piece of ginger, peeled
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil

Rack baby back ribs, about 3 pounds, cut into individual ribs

Preparation

  1. Put ingredients into a blender jar in the order listed and blend on high until completely homogeneous.
  2. Put prepped ribs in a stainless bowl and coat completely with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  3. When ready to cook, place individual ribs on the baking tray of a Cuisinart® Toaster Oven. Reserve remaining marinade. (Marinade must be boiled for at least 5 minutes before using.)
  4. Set oven to convection bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Once time expires, reduce temperature to 250°F for 1 additional hour.
  5. Serve immediately, or, if using as filling for Steamed Pork Buns, remove all meat from the bones and shred well with a fork. If mixture seems dry, boil reserved marinade and add to shredded pork 1 tablespoon at a time until coated, but not wet.*Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit that is quite sour. Yuzu juice can be found at Japanese grocery stores or gourmet food shops.
