    I’ve always stayed away from cooking ribs, because my husband is very particular about not having to work very hard for his dinner. The man is lazy when it comes to food and if he has to peel a shrimp or work around a bone, it is too much work. The quirks we put up with for love, right?

    However, recently I saw the boneless pork back ribs in my grocery store and I decided to give it a try. Ever since I started eating keto / low carb again, I am trying to vary the protein we have for dinner to keep it interesting.

    I marinated the pork back ribs in an Asian marinade which contains ginger for tenderness and flavor, and soy sauce for the distinct Asian flavor.

    It turned out amazing! Tender, flavorful and boneless, so the hubby didn’t have any complaints. Pork Back Ribs have more meat and less fat than traditional ribs and as such taste more like a pork loin.

    Now, I can’t wait for summer, because I will be experimenting with various marinades and cooking methods for back ribs. I am already planning for an oven and grill recipe!

    Baby Back Ribs vs. Boneless Back Ribs

    Baby back ribs are the traditional ribs you see available in most restaurants. The rack of ribs have fat and muscle meat and usually are served bone in.

    Boneless Back Ribs are a pork loin taken from close to the ribs of the pig and as such tastes more like a loin and has more meat and less fat.

    Where can I find the Korean Style Red Pepper?

    You can buy it in your grocery store if they have a good International aisle or in an Asian supermarket. But my favorite way is to order it online on Amazon.

    Why use agave nectar?

    Because it has a lower glycemic index than sugar, which means it doesn’t elevate your blood sugar as fast or as high as sugar. It also has lower carbs than sugar which fit my low carb diet better.

    Feel free to use honey instead of agave nectar or brown sugar.
