**Pork ribs, a versatile cut of meat, take on a vibrant Thai flavor profile in this delectable dish. Marinated in a harmonious blend of garlic, coriander, lemongrass, soy sauce, brown sugar, and the aromatic kaffir lime leaves, these ribs absorb a symphony of sweet, savory, and citrusy notes. Grilled to perfection, they boast a tender, fall-off-the-bone texture that yields to the gentle touch of chopsticks. Accompanying the ribs are three distinct sauces, each offering a unique dimension of flavor. The traditional Thai sweet chili sauce, with its fiery kick and sweet undertones, adds a vibrant zest. The creamy peanut sauce, rich and nutty, offers a luscious contrast to the ribs' savory character. Lastly, the spicy tamarind sauce, with its tangy and slightly sour notes, awakens the palate, creating a delightful interplay of flavors.**

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.

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.

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 one- to 1 1/2-pound racks baby back ribs
1/2 cup fish sauce
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup Asian peanut oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
4 stalks lemongrass, outer leaves removed and tender center thinly sliced
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
4 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
Thai Dipping Sauce

Steps:

  • Place ribs in a large, shallow dish; set aside. In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, cilantro, peanut oil, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, lemongrass, sugar, ginger, and sesame oil. Pour over ribs, turning to coat. Refrigerate, covered, overnight, turning occasionally.
  • To cook ribs in oven: Remove ribs from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Line a shallow roasting pan with a rack; set aside. Preheat oven to 300 degrees, placing a rack in the lower and top thirds of the oven. Place a second roasting pan half full of water in the bottom third of the oven. Remove ribs from marinade, and reserve excess marinade. Place ribs on rack in roasting pan. Place ribs in the top third of the oven. Bake, basting occasionally with reserved marinade, until the meat begins to pull away from the bone, the bone tips are exposed, and the internal temperature of the thickest part is 155 degrees, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove ribs from oven, and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into individual pieces. Serve with dipping sauce.
  • To cook ribs using a charcoal grill: Remove ribs from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. To preheat a covered grill, light a mound of twenty to thirty briquettes on one side of the grate, and open the bottom vents fully. Place a roasting pan filled with 2 inches of water on the other side of the grate. The pan will catch the drippings, and the water will provide moist heat to tenderize the meat. Place four or five chunks of hardwood charcoal directly on the coals.
  • When the coals are ready, place a rack over them. Remove ribs from marinade, and reserve excess marinade. Place the ribs on the rack over the water; no meat should be directly over the coals. Cover, making sure lid vents are opposite the ribs and half open (this draws the smoke over the ribs). Place an instant-read thermometer into the top vent hole; it should read between 200 degrees to 250 degrees. The temperature should never exceed 300 degrees. If the temperate is too high, partially close the lower vent. Regulate the temperature during cooking by adjusting the lower vent. Turn and baste the ribs with the reserved marinade every 45 minutes, making sure that you alternate the exposure of the ribs to the hotter edge near the coals. Cook until ribs begin to pull away from the bone, the bone tips are exposed, and the internal temperature of the thickest part is 155 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Baste ribs with dipping sauce, turning frequently to prevent the sugar in the sauce from burning. Cook for an additional 4 minutes per side. Allow ribs to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into individual pieces. Serve with dipping sauce.

THAI-STYLE SPARE RIBS



Thai-Style Spare Ribs image

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds baby back ribs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 dash cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne
1 tablespoon mirin

Steps:

  • Lay the ribs flat in a roasting pan. 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 hour, 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 minutes, until nicely glazed. (Alternatively, return ribs to the grill to glaze.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Use pork spare ribs or baby back ribs for a tender and flavorful result.
  • Marinate the ribs: Marinating the ribs for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, helps tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
  • Grill the ribs over indirect heat: This will help prevent them from burning and ensure that they cook evenly throughout.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with the marinade or barbecue sauce while they are grilling helps keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender: The ribs are done when the meat easily pulls away from the bone.

Conclusion:

Thai-style ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple tips, you can make sure that your Thai-style ribs turn out perfect every time. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy this amazing dish!
