My Superbowl LII FireCracker Rib Recipe is sure to be a winner!
With the #superbowl just around the corner I figured now was a good time to do up my FIRE CRACKER rib recipe for the #Steemit #USA Family.
Ribs, Ribs, Ribs. I used to like ribs but I hated the fact that they were so much work. Who would have thought that a Vegan alternative is actually easier to make, tastes better, eat, and is much better for you, the planet and obviously the animals? Step in Tempeh. So, what the hell is tempeh? Tempeh is made from cooked and slightly fermented soybeans and formed into a patty, sounds delicious right? Well on its own, no, it is not tasty, you need to think of it, like most soy products, Tofu etc. as a canvas, one that can soak up some serious flavours and hold up well to stirring and cooking.
Enough of the explaining what it is and on to how you can make some seriously tasty "Ribs" for your Superbowl party!! or Tuesday breakfast, I am not here to judge!
Firecracker ribs! (not for the faint hearted)
Ingredients:
- 1 Block of Tempeh (400g for this recipe)
- 5 Tbsp Soft dark brown sugar,
- 3 Tbsp light soy sauce,
- 6 Tbsp tomato Ketchup,
- 1/2 tsp Cumin,
- 1 Tsp Fresh ground black pepper,
- 1/2 Tsp Nutmeg,
- 2 Tbsp Veg stir fry sauce,
- 1 Tsp Paprika,
- 1 Tsp Garlic granules,
- 3 Tbsp Sriracha hot chilli sauce
- 1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar.
Method:
- Add sugar, soy sauce, stir fry sauce and ketchup to a pot. Heat until sugar is melted through the other liquids, approx 3 min on med heat.
- Stir in the remaining dry spices and mix well keeping on heat. stir through for 2 min more.
- Add the Sriracha and apple cider vinegar and heat through stirring all the time (take in that nostril burning smell too) .
- Chop the tempeh in half (length ways) and then in to 3/4" wide "ribs". You can also puncture the ribs with a fork to allow even more of the flavour in, just don't go all Ted Bundy on them and you'll be fine!
- Add the "ribs" to the pot and coat thoroughly in the Fire cracker sauce.
- Spoon out the "ribs" into a storage container and any extra sauce from the pot. Cover and leave to marinade overnight to absorb the spiciness! The longer the better.
- To cook, remove from the fridge and place in a non stick pan, the smaller the better to keep the ribs covered in sauce while cooking. Cover with foil and place on middle shelf at 180 Deg C for 35 - 40 min.
Serving:
As these are "Ribs" I suggest serving with a cold beer! just get in there with your fingers. It gives you a good reason to suck your fingers when your finished!! These are quite filling too so you will want to share them, good excuse to have friends around.
Just incase these Ribs are too hot or spicy, why not try my cracked black pepper ribs instead, they are milder but just as tasty.
If you want a big eat check out my Deep Pan Pizza its seriously filling and dairy and meat free!
Should you want to have a dessert too why not go for this cheeseless cake
LIKE WHAT YOU SEE?
Your tempeh ribs look delicious 🤤 I can't find tempeh where I live, only tofu.
I am sure the fire cracker sauce would work great as a tofu marinade, I'll give it a try!
I love anything with sriracha in 🌶🔥
Oh if you are using it in a sir fry just add about 200 ml of water to thin it out a bit other than that it will get very stick too quick and could burn on the wok.
Thanks for checking it out too.
I wish I would have all the ingredients to make this right now! Sounds delicious. Maybe it will be my new favorite way to eat Tempeh - I definitely must agree that by itself Tempeh is not the most tasty piece of food to eat! 😅
They are most certainly not for the faint hearted, the vinegar really ads to the chilli burn! Oh its fantastic. I have another BBQ version that is milder. I'll pop that one up during the week.
Oh, yeah tempeh on its own is pretty bland, I always remember eating steamed chicken breast and thinking they where quite similar in their blandness! But Tempeh takes the flavours much better than the chicken.
Nice one for checking it out too man, appreciate it. 👍👍
Look pretty tasty.
Oh they are delish! Nice n spicy, just the way I like em! If you do try them out please let me know how you get on.
Will do.
i never tasted it but i have wish after seeing this :)
Thanks for checking it out, If you like spicy these are just fantastic!

oh you are very welcome Niina. If you like spicy these are great finger food, plus you get to eat with your hands and make a big mess. I'll be doing up my black pepper ribs later on today.
I love tempeh!! I will definitely have to give this one a go. I don't really care too much about the game, but might be nice to make some yummy treats like this just because! Great recipe!
Thanks a million, yeah I'd be the same to be honest. But any excuse for yummy food and I'm there! There is a nice afterburn to these too.
Thanks ks for checking it out.😊
