Steps:
- About one hour before you plan to start grilling, make the rub: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, onion powder, chili powder, paprika and pepper. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides of each rack with the rub. Set aside at room temperature for one hour.
- Preheat the grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add the drained wood chips, if using.
- Place the ribs, meaty side up, over a drip pan, close the grill, and cook for 2 hours, adding about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, jam, vinegar and garlic sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly thickened. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
- Continue to cook the ribs until they're so tender the rack will easily break when bent with tongs, 1 to 2 more hours, spraying on both sides with the tamarind juice every 20 to 30 minutes. Brush the ribs on both sides with the sauce and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is set. Remove from the grill and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Cut the racks into 3- or 4-rib sections and serve. Pass any remaining sauce at the table.

- 1. Place the sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sake, garlic, ginger, and scallion whites in a large, nonreactive mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Stir in the short ribs. Cover the bowl and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
- 2. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high; use the Mississippi test* to check the heat.
- 3. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the short ribs on the grate and grill until sizzling and darkly browned on the outside and cooked to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium.
- 4. Transfer the ribs to a platter or plates, sprinkle the scallion greens on top, and serve.
- *When the fire is burning on high, you will be able to count to only two or three Mississippis before the intense heat forces you to snatch your hand away.
- Variation
- How to cook full-size Sweet Soy-Grilled Short Ribs:
- You'll need about 3 to 4 pounds of bone-in individual short ribs. Make the marinade following the directions in Step 1, then marinate the short ribs for 3 to 4 hours. Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium (325° to 350°F). When ready to cook, brown the ribs on both sides directly over the fire before moving them to the center of the grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat, and covering the grill. The ribs will be tender and cooked through after 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If the ribs start to brown too much halfway through cooking, wrap them in aluminum foil.

These ribs are totally AMAZING!!!!!! Plan ahead these ribs have to marinate for 8-24 hours after baking them in the oven. They can be grilled or broiled. If you are making more than 4 pounds of ribs then double the sauce ingredients, but do not increase the fresh garlic.
