This Hawaiian pork rib rub is perfect for smoked pork ribs but can also be used on tenderloin and pork shoulder. Our recipe calls for soy sauce powder which is simply dehydrated soy sauce. You can purchase this at a specialty food store or online at your convenience! 

Hawaiian Pork Rub

Our recipe makes enough Hawaiian pork rib rub for two racks of spare ribs or three racks of baby back ribs.

Ingredients:

  • Sweet paprika, or regular paprika (avoid smoked or spicy paprika)
  • Brown sugar
  • Soy sauce powder (substitute with low-sodium beef bouillon granules)
  • Onion powder
  • Granulated garlic, sub with garlic powder
  • Coarse salt, Hawaiian sea salt preferred but not required
  • Black pepper

Making and Using Hawaiian Pork Rib Rub:

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and apply evenly to ribs.
  • If making a large batch of rub, store it in an airtight container in the cupboard for up to 6 months.
  • Wrapping ribs and pork roasts: If you plan to apply the rub first, then wrap, I recommend doing so for 2 hours with ribs and up to 12 hours with pork roastsโ€”no more than that. 
  • I will also use my Tropical Pork Injection Marinade when making pork roasts with this Hawaiian pork rib rub. They work beautifully together!
  • I love to use this rub when making Pellet Grill Pork Ribs. I’ll finish the ribs off with a pineapple glaze. Simply melt a little pineapple jelly in a pan and brush it on the pork ribs during the last 30 minutes of cook time. Fantastic!
