Move the ribs to the other side of the grill, over the liquid, and place the other disposable pan with steaming liquid next to them over the coals. Put the lid of the grill on and open the vents on top halfway. Cook until the ribs are tender and juicy, about 2 hours.

Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapples: Use fresh, ripe pineapples for the best flavor. Look for pineapples that are golden yellow in color and have a slightly sweet smell.
- Use a variety of peppers: Different types of peppers can add different levels of heat and flavor to the sauce. For a milder sauce, use green bell peppers. For a spicier sauce, use red or orange bell peppers or chili peppers.
- Add some sweetness: The sweetness of the pineapple pairs well with the acidity of the tomatoes and the heat of the peppers. You can add sweetness with brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
- Simmer for flavor: Simmering the sauce for a while allows the flavors to meld and develop. Aim to simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for longer if you want a more concentrated flavor.
- Taste and adjust: Be sure to taste the sauce as you're cooking and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more sugar, salt, or pepper to taste.
Conclusion:
Asian pineapple sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for stir-fries, noodle dishes, and even as a dipping sauce.
