Crispy Ham Ribs With Sorghum Mustard Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• For the ribs:.
• Combine the water, brown sugar, kosher salt and pink salt in a large container. Stir until the sugar and salts are dissolved; let the mixture cool. Place the ribs in the brine and place a weight like a plate on top of the ribs to keep them submerged in the brine. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 5 days.
• Remove the ribs from the brine and place in a smoker at 225 degrees F until almost tender, 5 to 6 hours. Refrigerate the ribs until cooled. Once cooled, cut between the bones to make single ribs.
• For the sorghum mustard glaze:.
• Combine the sorghum, Dijon, mustard seeds, fish sauce and pepper in a saucepan and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
• To serve:.
• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep fryer. Submerge the ribs in the oil and let them fry until crispy and hot, 4 to 5 minutes. In a large bowl, toss the ribs with the sorghum mustard glaze and transfer them to a platter. Garnish with green onions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Pour water, star anise, and cloves into the bottom of a roasting pan. Place a roasting rack into the pan over the water, anise, and cloves; place ham on rack. Cut 1/4-inch deep slashes 1/2-inch apart lengthwise and crosswise across the top of the entire ham.
• Bake ham in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Whisk brown sugar, honey, mustard, vinegar, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until glaze has a thick, smooth consistency.
• Brush glaze all over ham. Continue baking ham, brushing glaze on every 20 minutes, until glaze is deep golden and ham is heated through, about 2 hours 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
• Use a kitchen torch to heat the glaze on the ham until it is crispy and caramelized, 2 to 5 minutes.
