Roys Szechuan Ribs Recipes

ROYS WOOD-SMOKED SZECHWAN-STYLE BABY BACK PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Several years ago, Bon App?tit magazine ran a feature article on Roys Restaurant. It included this recipe for smoked ribs; you might call it one of my signature dishes. Combind the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate overnight. Place thc pork ribs in a large saucepan with thc chicken stock ginger, garlic, parsley, and cilantro, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove the ribs, and reserve the broth for soup r freeze for another time. Immediately brush the ribs with the Szechwan marinade, and let cool. Meanwhile, prepare the grdl and soak some kiawc or mesquite wood chips in water in preparation for smoking the ribs. Brush the ribs again with the marinade before roasting, and slowly cook the ribs over the wood chips on a covered grill until nicely browned and smoky (about 15 to 20 minutes). Serve with extra Szechwan marinade on the side. Yield: Serves 4 http://www.foodtv.com/socal/recreg.htm Posted to recipelu-digest by LSHW on Feb 20, 1998
