Why Use an Asian Dry Rub?

An Asian-style dry rub elevates dishes by:

Enhancing natural flavors: Soy, ginger, and garlic create depth without overpowering.
Balancing sweet and savory: Sugar or honey powder caramelizes beautifully.
Creating a flavorful crust: Perfect for grilling or roasting.
Customizable heat: Add chili flakes or Szechuan peppercorns for a kick.

Ingredients for Asian Dry Rub

This rub combines traditional Asian seasonings with BBQ-friendly spices:

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for crunch)

Tip: You can substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar for a slightly different sweetness.

How to Apply the Asian Dry Rub

Pat meat dry: Ensures the rub sticks and forms a nice crust.
Generously coat the meat: Massage the rub into all surfaces.
Let it rest: Allow at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 1–2 hours for deeper flavor.
Cook as desired: Grill, smoke, or oven-roast until the meat reaches the proper internal temperature.

Cooking Tips

Grilling: Medium heat, turning occasionally, creates a caramelized crust.
Oven-Roasting: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for juicy, tender results.
Smoking: Low and slow at 225–250°F (107–121°C) produces flavorful bark and tender meat.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Asian dry-rubbed ribs with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables.
Pair chicken or pork with pickled vegetables and hoisin sauce.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, or toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor.
