Better Than McRib

Deboned baby back ribs glazed in a Kimura Black Garlic Chili Oil marinade, broiled until caramelized, and stacked on a soft sesame bun with Japanese mayo, pickles, and fresh white onion.

Ingredients

  • Baby back ribs (4-rib portions, silver skin removed)
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp Kimura Black Garlic Chili Oil
  • Soft sesame buns
  • Japanese mayo (Kewpie)
  • Pickles
  • Fresh white onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Butcher baby back ribs into 4-rib portions and remove the silver skin.
  2. Make the marinade: blend ginger, garlic, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and Kimura Black Garlic Chili Oil until smooth. Reserve a portion for glazing later.
  3. Coat ribs thoroughly in marinade. Refrigerate for 3–12 hours.
  4. Steam ribs for 2 hours until fall-off-the-bone tender.
  5. Debone the ribs — the meat should slide off easily. Trim any cartilage or unwanted joints.
  6. Lay the deboned rib meat flat on a sheet tray. Place a second same-size sheet tray on top and weigh it down. Refrigerate to press flat and hold its shape.
  7. When ready to cook, brush with reserved marinade and broil on high for 5–10 minutes until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes.
  8. Build your sandwich: soft sesame bun, Japanese mayo, MacRib patty, pickles, and fresh white onion. Serve immediately.
