These Asian-inspired pork ribs have a flavorful dry rub in addition to a glossy, sweet and tangy plum-based sauce. Plums, you ask? Black diamond plums have been lab tested for FODMAPs and have a small low FODMAP serving size of 2 g. We know that sounds like a small amount – and it is - but thankfully we know what FODMAPs are in plums – sorbitol, which is a Polyol – so if we know our tolerance to that FODMAP, we can adjust the serving size of this recipe. Also note that we like to allow the dry rub to permeate the meat for 4 hours before cooking, so plan accordingly. You can also do that step the day before. Please note the “P” icon at the top of the recipe. It denotes that this recipe contains Polyols. This recipe is for those who have finished their Challenge Phase and understand their relationship to sorbitol, in particular.
