Awesome recipe. I tried it again using brown sugar instead of white; OMG it was even better. The red pepper paste is great. It adds a subtle taste and keeps the ribs from being too sweet. Booyah!!!

This was a nice tasty change of pace for our household. Instead of marinading and broiling, I heated up the matinade and threw it in the crockpot with the meat on low for the better half of the day. It was very good, and I served it with a pot of rice and steamed veggies. The sauce was great over the rice, just something a little different. I was quite impressed. Give this a try, you won't be disappointed.

This recipe is amazing !!! Everything the others have posted about it is true. Everyone I made it for loved it, they were gone quickly and I ended up making more the following weekend because they were so good. I even made them in the oven bcuz is was winter. I cooked them covered for 3 hrs @ 350 degrees, turned out great. I combined white and brown sugar and used powdered red pepper not paste, it all worked out wonderfully. I highly recommend !!!!

This is FANTASTIC!! I have eaten sweet ribs for years at this little Hawaiian place, and have hoped to find a similar recipe. The closest one that I have found was my Grandmother's recipe for chicken wings. (Which is exactly the same except for the optional ingredients: sesame oil, green onions, and red pepper paste) These make it perfect. The recipe made so much sauce that I saved about 1 cup for garnishment for the rice afterward and then I used 1/2 of the remaining sauce for the ribs and 1/2 for chicken, (which is what my 4 year old prefers,) and marinated it overnight. The results were soooo great! I served it over rice and made a Hawaiian Mac salad to go with. It was heaven! I can't wait to make it again! This will certainly be made often in our house! Thanks for the fabulous recipe!

Excelent. I forgot to add da ginger. But was still good. Also, I used a whole head of garlic, jus cuz I like garlic. The half local and half japanese soy sauce is a good idea as sometimes the japanese style is too strong.

This recipe is right on the money!!! We had "plate lunch" for father's day. I used the brown sugar as suggested by reviewer Ali G...it was fabulous. Now I can get a taste of Maui any old time I want The whole family loved it too! Thanks for sharing!!

I was torn on this review. I LOVED the marinade...loved it. But i probably wouldn't use short ribs again for this and instead do a pork baby back rib instead. it's cleaner, there's more meat and is easily adapted to grilling. I used all the optional ingredients and thought that the marinade was beyond amazing.
