Mix well until the sugar dissolves completely.

3

Place the pork ribs in a large dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

6

Remove the ribs from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off.

Reserve the marinade for basting during cooking.

8

Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until they develop a nice char.

9

Reduce the heat to medium and brush the ribs with the reserved marinade.

10

Cover the grill and cook for an additional 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with marinade, until the ribs are tender.
