Hoisin Pork Ribs

While most of us knew that barbecued ribs is a popular American dish there is an Asian counterpart that exists and it is called the Hoisin Pork Ribs.

Hoisin or Haixian sauce is a Chinese sauce that is made out of sweet potato, soybeans and peppers red chili peppers, a very popular flavouring in a lot of Chinese dishes such as spring rolls, Peking duck and barbecue pork. The word “Hoisin” in Cantonese means seafood but despite its name this sauce does not contain any form of seafood.

While most of us knew that barbecued ribs is a popular American dish there is an Asian counterpart that exists on the other side of the world. Procedures are nearly the same but instead of using barbecue sauce it was replaced by Hoisin sauce, which gives it an Asian twist. It can be cooked in the grill or oven and it still have that sweet and savoury taste that everyone loves.
