Chinese-style Ribs

As these Chinese-style ribs are nice and thick with Asian flavors, I initially planned to post them on my other cooking blog, Kawaling Pinoy, which is mostly Filipino and Asian-inspired recipes. But I couldn’t do that to the about a dozen loyal Onion Rings and Things readers. How could I deprive YOU of these sweet, sticky, gooey goodness? Try them today, folks. These ribs are great on the grill when days are bright and sunny but cook just as well in the oven when days turn dark and nippy.
