Yield Serves 4 as a main course; 8 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sliced shallots
10 scallions, coarsely chopped
One 3-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
8 large cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro including thin stems (and roots, if possible)
6 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
4 pounds pork spare ribs, cut by your butcher across the bone into 2- to 3-inch "racks," each rack cut between the bones into individual 2- to 3-inch-long riblets
Thai Chile-Herb Dipping Sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Put the shallots, scallions, ginger, garlic, cilantro, soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Process to a loose, finely chopped paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice.
  • 2. Place pork ribs in a large bowl or a pair of heavy resealable plastic bags. Thoroughly coat the ribs with the marinade, massaging the paste into the flesh for a minute or so. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 2 hours or up to 5 hours in the refrigerator, tossing the ribs once or twice during this time.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the ribs out, bone-side down, on two large, parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until ribs are deeply colored and very tender but not yet falling from the bone, about 11/2 hours, occasionally rotating the pans to encourage even cooking. Remove from the oven and serve with small bowls of Thai Chile-Herb Dipping Sauce .

This Thai ribs recipe creates very tender ribs that are tangy-sticky good. This ribs recipe is made in your oven, so there's no messy parboiling involved-just stir together the marinade with the ribs and let them bake. Then, just before serving, top with a special Thai sauce that makes these ribs simply divine. Great for serving at a party too!

Time 2h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

2-3 lbs. pork ribs
For the Marinade
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup sugar (brown, packed)
3 tbsp. sherry (or cooking sherry)
1 chili (red fresh, minced or 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, to taste)
For the Thai Sauce
3/4 cup rice vinegar (or other types such as apple cider vinegar)
1/3 cup sugar (brown packed)
1 chili minced (red minced, or 1/2 to 3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (to taste)
3 tbsp. fish sauce (or substitute 3+1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tbsp.lime juice (fresh-squeezed)
For the Garnish
2-3 onions (green spring (sliced finely)
Optional: 1/2 cup coriander (fresh, roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • Chop up the ribs, being sure to leave on the fat (helps flavor the dish). Pack ribs into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or pan.
  • Combine marinade ingredients, stirring to dissolve sugar, and pour over the ribs. Turn to saturate all sides. Marinate at least 10 minutes while you warm up the oven (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, covered).
  • Preheat oven to 325 F. The marinade should be 1/4- to 1/2-inch deep around the ribs. (If your baking pan is larger, you may need to add up to 1/4 cup water to achieve this.) Cover with lid or foil and bake 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven. There should be at least 1/2 inch of sauce in the pan. While you have the dish out, turn over any ribs that look dry, ensuring most of the meaty parts are covered with sauce. Cover and return to oven for 1 more hour.
  • While ribs are baking, combine Thai Sauce ingredients together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium (it will smell rather pungent as the vinegar burns off). Boil 10 to 12 minutes, or until sauce has been reduced by 1/3 and has thickened.
  • Remove from heat and add 1/2 tablespoon lime juice. Once it has cooled, do a taste-test: it should be tangy, with strong sweet, sour, and spicy tones, plus a little salty. Adjust the flavors by adding more sugar if you find it too sour, more cayenne if you'd like it spicier, or more fish sauce if you'd like it saltier. Add more lime juice if too sweet or salty. Note that it will taste strong now, but will be delicious when combined with the ribs.
  • When ribs are cooked to your liking, transfer to a serving bowl or platter (bring some of the marinade with them). Now drizzle over the tangy Thai sauce and top with the green onion and coriander. Serve with jasmine rice and enjoy!

THAI-STYLE SPARE RIBS



Thai-Style Spare Ribs image

These ribs are often served in Thailand to accompany ice-cold beer, said Andy Ricker, the chef and owner of the Pok Pok restaurants in New York and Portland, Ore. He warns against overcooking them: Thai diners prefer ribs on the chewy side rather than falling-off-the-bone tender. They may be cooked over indirect heat in a covered charcoal grill, but it is far easier to bake them in a slow oven, then reheat (on the grill, if you wish) at the last minute. The ribs are quite flavorful on their own, but serve them with a spicy dipping sauce if you prefer.

Time 4h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 racks of baby back ribs, 3 to 4 pounds, halved lengthwise to make 3-inch ribs (ask your butcher to do this)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon tamarind paste or hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne
2 tablespoons Shaoxing cooking wine, mirin or sherry
3 tablespoons chopped garlic chives or scallions, for garnish
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems, for garnish

Steps:

  • Lay the ribs flat in a roasting pan. (You will have 4 long pieces.) Season lightly with salt on both sides.
  • Make the marinade: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, tamarind paste, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne. Add the wine and 1/4 cup hot water and whisk well.
  • Pour marinade over ribs to completely coat. Marinate at room temperature for 2 hours, turning once or twice, or cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 250 degrees. Transfer the roasting pan, uncovered, to the rack. Roast ribs for 1 1/2 hours, basting with pan juices and turning ribs over every 20 minutes or so. If pan juices seem to be drying out or burning, add a little water to the pan. (Alternatively, cook ribs over indirect heat in a covered charcoal grill, turning ribs every 20 minutes or so.)
  • Pour juices from the roasting pan into a small saucepan. Spoon off fat from surface of sauce, then simmer sauce for a few minutes until slightly thickened, then use the juices to paint the ribs.
  • Turn up oven heat to 400 degrees. Return ribs to oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until nicely glazed. (Alternatively, return ribs to the grill to glaze.)
  • Use a sharp knife to divide ribs, cutting between the bones. Pile ribs onto a platter, sprinkle with garlic chives and cilantro, and serve.

THAI PORK RIBS (SII KHRONG MUU TAI NAAM)



Thai Pork Ribs (Sii Khrong Muu Tai Naam) image

These aromatic Thai ribs employ a unique cooking technique. First, marinate the ribs in a fragrant homemade curry paste; then braise them in a pot sealed with a bowl of ice water, which bastes continuously for a dish that's tender and flavorful. (Note: Authentic Thai ingredients can be found at most Asian specialty stores.)

Provided by Andy Ricker

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1-inch piece galangal, about 1 tablespoon sliced
1 1-inch piece fresh turmeric, about 1 teaspoon sliced; or use ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 coriander roots, fresh or frozen, about 1 tablespoon sliced; or use cilantro stems
1 1/2 stalks lemongrass, about 3 tablespoon sliced
3 fresh green Thai chiles
5 cloves garlic
5 dried Thai chiles
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 rack pork ribs, St. Louis-style cut, about 2¼ pounds, trimmed to a uniform 4 inches
5 lime leaves, about 1 tablespoon of chiffonade
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons fish sauce, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon sugar, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon MSG (optional, but recommended), monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
10 pounds ice cubes, divided
1 scallion (green onion)
Handful cilantro, about 2 tablespoon chopped, leaves and stems
3 leaves sawtooth, about 2 tablespoon sliced

Steps:

  • Paste: Prepare ingredients to make the paste. Peel and thinly slice galangal and turmeric; thinly slice cilantro roots. Trim lemongrass stems, then discard tough outer layers; slice into thin coins. Slice chiles into ½-inch pieces. Peel garlic cloves, then roughly chop.
  • Place the mortar and pestle on a towel to keep it sturdy. Chef Ricker advises adding ingredients from hardest to softest texture when making a paste. Place dried chiles into the mortar along with a pinch of salt; pound until chiles are flaky. Add peppercorns and continue pounding, followed by galangal, turmeric, and cilantro root. As the ingredients are added, a rough paste will begin to form. Continue by adding lemongrass, garlic, and green chiles. When all of the ingredients have broken down to a rough pulp, the paste is ready. Makes about ⅓ cup.
  • Ribs: Place rack meat-side down on a cutting board. Cut into individual ribs and place in a bowl. Stack lime leaves, roll like a cigar, slice very thinly (this is called a chiffonade), and set aside. Season ribs with a pinch of salt, fish sauce, sugar, and MSG (optional); toss to coat with your hands. Add the paste and 1 teaspoon sliced lime leaf, reserving the rest for garnish, and massage the ingredients into the ribs until they're evenly coated. Let rest uncovered at room temperature, 1 hour.
  • Add oil to a pot over medium-high heat; when it's smoking, add ribs meat-side down in an even layer. Turn heat to medium-low (to prevent paste from burning) and brown the ribs, 6-8 minutes.
  • While ribs are browning, add 5 pounds ice cubes to the bowl, along with enough water to cover the ice. When ribs are browned, turn them over and reduce heat to low. Place the bowl with ice slurry on the pot so it completely seals off the top. The steam will rise and condense on the cold surface of the bowl, then drip back onto the ribs, creating a self-basting cooking environment.
  • Garnish: While ribs are cooking, trim and thinly slice the scallion. Roughly chop cilantro. Fold sawtooth leaves in half and julienne into ⅛-inch slices. Mix together scallion, cilantro, and sawtooth and set aside, along with remaining lime leaf.
  • After 15 minutes, remove bowl from pot and turn the ribs over. Pour out melted ice slurry and replenish with another 5 lbs ice cubes and water. Add a pinch of salt to the ice water to keep it cold a little longer. Place bowl over pot and continue cooking, 15 more minutes.
  • After 30 minutes of total cooking, remove the bowl. Continue cooking ribs uncovered to reduce the cooking liquid in the pot, 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding salt, sugar, and fish sauce; remove from heat. Place ribs on a serving platter, and spoon paste from the pot over them. Garnish with chopped herbs (scallions, cilantro, sawtooth) and lime leaves. Serve.

THAI-STYLE BABY BACK RIBS



Thai-Style Baby Back Ribs image

Pork ribs are often found under layers and layers of sauce and seasoning. In this recipe, stripped down to tropical-climate easiness, the ribs are grilled after being sprinkled generously with salt and pepper, not marinated or spice-rubbed. The infusing of the flavors - fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, jalapeños, ginger, garlic and lemon grass - comes after the cooking is done. It's pretty neat how good that tastes. The recipe makes three or four entrée servings, but it also makes a good appetizer for six to eight.

Provided by John Willoughby And Chris Schlesinger

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 3 to 4 entrée servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 racks of baby back ribs, about three to three and a half pounds total
Salt and freshly cracked pepper
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons minced jalapeños or other fresh chilies of your choice
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh lemon grass

Steps:

  • Build a fire in your grill; when the coals are all covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium-low (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 7 seconds), you're ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium-low.)
  • Sprinkle the ribs generously with salt and pepper, place them on the grill directly over the coals, and cook until a peek inside shows that the meat no longer has any pink at the center, about 10 to 12 minutes per side.
  • When the rib racks come off the grill, cut them into individual ribs and place in a large bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients, toss to coat, season with more salt and pepper if needed, and serve.

2 Tbsp soy sauce, thin
2 Tbsp fish sauce
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp lime juice
3 Tbsp water

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ribs: Select St. Louis-style pork spareribs for a leaner cut with more meat and less bone. Avoid country-style ribs, as they contain more bone and fat.
  • Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tender and flavorful results.
  • Create a Flavorful Marinade: Combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, brown sugar, and rice vinegar for a marinade that infuses the ribs with an umami-rich and tangy flavor.
  • Let the Ribs Marinate: Allow the ribs to marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor absorption.
  • Slow-Cook the Ribs: Bake the ribs in a low oven for 2-3 hours or until fall-off-the-bone tender. This method allows the connective tissues to break down, resulting in juicy and tender ribs.
  • Glaze the Ribs: During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with a glaze made from honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. This adds a glossy sheen and caramelized flavor to the ribs.
  • Serve with Authentic Accompaniments: Accompany the Thai-style spareribs with jasmine rice, a side of fresh vegetables, and a dipping sauce made from fish sauce, lime juice, and chili peppers.
