Additional Notes

  • What if I don’t eat pork?
    • Try this recipe with beef short ribs or lamb ribs. It’s all about the basting sauce.
  • What if I don’t like sweet potatoes?
    • Substitute the sweet potatoes for any fries you like. Regular potatoes, zucchini or buttenrut fries will work well.
  • What if I am banting?
    • Unfortunately, this Hoisin marinade is not the recipe for you, BUT you could try it with a banting-friendly marinade, such as Carb Smart Sticky Braai sauce with a touch of Soy Sauce for that Asian flavour. Substitute the Sweet Potato fries for Zucchini fries et voila!
  • What can I make with leftover ribs?
