Kimo von Oelhoffen: "This is my father's specialty, and it's one of my family's favorite dishes. Once a year, our family goes to Hawaii to visit my family, and they know whoever makes the ribs is the family member we'll visit first."

• 4 racks baby back ribs
  
• 3 tablespoons crushed gingerroot
  
• 1/3 cup oyster sauce
  
• 1cup Heinz Tomato Ketchup
  
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  
• 3/4 cup soy sauce

Combine the ribs with the gingerroot and water to cover in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until the ribs are tender; drain. Combine the oyster sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and soy sauce in a large shallow dish and mix well. Add the ribs to the dish, turning to coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or longer. Remove the ribs from the marinade and place on a grill. Grill until done to taste.

Makes 4 to 6 generous servings.
