   4      teaspoons     minced garlic
   3      tablespoons   sugar
   5      tablespoons   Koon Chun Thick Soy Sauce
     1/3  cup           Koon Chun Hoisin Sauce
     1/2  cup           Shaohsing Chinese Wine
   2      tablespoons   Koon Chun ground bean sauce
                        GLAZE:

   2      teaspoons     sesame seed oil
   3      tablespoons   thin soy sauce
 

Preparation:

I take all the marinade ingredients and put into a bowl. I heat it up slightly so all the ingredients combine. I add a little cornstarch and water to thicken it up a little. I find it sticks to the ribs better this way. I put the ribs and marinade in a pan big enough to contain full racks. Being as dedicated as I am, I cover and refrigerate for a week. I also remove and switch around the ribs twice a day so all the ribs are well marinated. I don't like using a plastic bag here since the marinating drying slightly on the ribs works better. I get my grill hot. I use almond/apple/maple at a 50/30/20 ratio. I hot smoke the ribs for about 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The temperature gets to about 200 to 225F. I also brush the marinade several times while cooking. After ribs are done, I brush the with the glaze. I scale up the ratios here as well. I am more generous with the honey and less with the sesame seed oil. I use just enough to give a hint of the oil flavor. I sprinkle ribs with sesame seeds just before serving. I usually serve with a good quantity of Thai Fried Rice or Yang Chow Fried Rice. I also like Cantonese stir fried Brussel sprouts of Szechwan green beans
