Step-by-Step Instructions

- Coat the Ribs: Add the pork pieces into the bowl. Toss them vigorously to ensure every surface of the Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites is coated in the ginger mixture. If you have ten extra minutes, let them sit; if not, move straight to the grill.
- Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You want a consistent temperature of around 400 degrees Fahrenheit to get that beautiful caramelization on your Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites.
- Grill the Meat: Place the Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites on the grates. Use a grill basket if the pieces are very small. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes, turning them every 4 minutes. This ensures an even char on all sides.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The exterior should look dark and slightly sticky.
- Rest and Garnish: Remove the Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites from the heat. Let them rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices. Sprinkle with fresh green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Pro Tips for Success
Achieving the perfect Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites requires a few smart kitchen hacks. First, never use cold meat. Take your pork out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking so cook evenly through to the center.
Second, do not over-crowd your grill pan or grates. If the Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites are too close together, they will steam instead of sear, and you will lose that smoky grilled flavor. Third, use a microplane for the ginger.
Grating it finely allows the juices to release, which penetrates the Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites much deeper than chopped ginger ever could. Finally, if you want a thicker glaze, simmer the leftover marinade in a small saucepan for 5 minutes and brush it over the Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites during the last two minutes of grilling. This technique creates a finger-licking finish that makes these Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites legendary.

If you actually have leftovers, which is rare, Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites store beautifully. Place the cooled in an airtight glass container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days. When you are ready to eat, avoid the microwave if possible, as it can make the pork rubbery.
Instead, reheat your Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites in an air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 minutes. This restores the crispiness of the exterior while keeping the inside tender. You can also toss into a hot skillet with a splash of water and cover it for 2 minutes to steam-heat them. These Ginger Grilled Pork Ribs Bites also freeze well for up to two months, making them a fantastic meal-prep option for busy weeks ahead.
