it's fillipino style BBQ ...
recipe:
pork back ribs,
marinate:
mama sita's fillipino BBQ sauce,
coconut sauce,
fillipino soy sauce (with a slight tang to it),
extra sugar for the ribs to caramelize ...
as you can see, the ribs were a bit over cooked at the end, cos we were too busy drinking beer ...
next BBQ will feature leg of lamb ... -
wow........the ribs look good!!!!
