Huli Huli Ribs
Rib Date: March 2013
Ribsters: Stults family and Eric Jorgensen
Disclaimer: I grew up in Hawaii. I see the words "huli huli" I my mouth begins to salivate.
"Huli" means turn. So, it doesn't take a genius to figure out huli huli means turn turn. Or, rotisserie.
About
a year ago I got an Australian Spit Roaster as a gift from the family.
The "Auspit" is a battery operated rotisserie that you can pretty much
use anywhere. Make a fire. Pound the Auspit into the ground. Put on
meat. Switch on Auspit. Drink beer while meats turns. Eat meat. Life
is good. A bacon-wrapped pork loin on the Auspit is food porn.
The Huli Huli ribs fall into the food porn category as well.
The
ribs get covered in a rub comprised of salt, pepper, garlic and
ginger. Thread 'em on rotisserie, let 'em spin over flames and
occasionally baste 'em with a teriyaki glaze and about an hour and half
later you have food magic. Simple but amazing.
We ate the Huli
Huli ribs with rice, of course, and had a nice bottle of Pinot Noir
because light red wines go great with teriyaki. Duh.
Ribster comments:
"I LOVED 'em." My daughter Eilidh
"I loved the sugary soy sweetness and how the sauce caramelized over the flames." Wife Gillian.
"I liked them. They weren't spicy and the sauce was good on the rice." Son Riain, aka Mr. Teriyaki.
"Really
good ribs. I liked them. They were tastier than Kuipo with far less
fat.". Eric Jorgensen making a funny yet gross comparison to his chubby
former Hawaiian girlfriend.
Mahalo for the ono ribs recipe Steven Raichlen. These ribs will return to my rotisserie often.
