I wanted to do these with spares but all BJ's had were babybacks.  Marinated in a mix of soy, hoisin and oyster sauces, brown sugar, added a can of crushed pineapple, some pineapple-orange juice, Chinese five spice powder and a few drops of sesame oil.  Smoking with a combination of hickory and orange pellets @ 225 using the 2-2-1 method.  Will be serving them up at about 6 with shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg rolls.

Glazed and ready for their last hour on the smoker.  Time to fry the eggrolls and make the fried rice.

Done and off the smoker, I let the smoker run at 250 the last hour, surprised that I got such a nice caramel crust

Rice, won't use jasmine rice next time.  It tasted great but even though I made it Friday night and let it dry two days it still turned into mush!  Any ideas from the experts???

These were awesome, nice smoke and very moist.  I will never eat chinese takeout ribs again!!!

Dinner is served!!  While there is lots of room for improvement with the rice and eggrolls I wouldn't change a thing about the ribs.  I'm pretty happy with my first attempt at chinese food.

I use Jasmine..... When I cook long grained rice, I rinse it thoroughly, in cold water, until all traces of white in the water are gone..   Use less than 1:1 ratio of water to rice.... 2 cups rice to 1 1/2 cups water is a good starting point.....  water can be substituted with stock or broth for flavor....  Should be slightly under cooked....  Fluff and store in the fridge for 2 days or longer like you did....  Rinsing removes the starch and it shouldn't stick together.... slightly under cooking will allow it to finish cooking in the egg rolls....   should be a winner.....

I tried cooking rice forever and I now have a rice cooker.... it cooks better than I was ever able to obtain... I use less water than the cooker recommends also...   Heat all the other ingredients first then add the rice at the end....  Overcooked rice sucks... but you and I both know that....   Dave

That looks awesome. Going to have to try that, never thought of doing it chinese style. Thanks for sharing.

About the really meaty BB's. The local meat store I buy most of my meat from, for the last 2 years, the only babybacks they ever have are what they call "XL Babybacks", and I really do not like them at all. They don't come out like normal BB's in the end. If I want all the extra meat, then I will get spare ribs. I don't need them in a BB. Also, I am thinking, what gets them to be XL-BB's, cause I sure don't want ribs from a hormonely injected animal. :)  But thats probably not the case. But at least with these XL-BB's, I don't like them.
