Sweet and Spicy Pork Ribs

This dish is part of the “Barbecue Lover” menu from one of our favorite Thai Restaurants here where we live. It is a huge family-sized plate of barbecue chicken, shrimp, and of course these ribs — front and center. I’ve been searching and trying other recipes but they were just okay. Then I found one from this book, “Easy Thai Cooking” by Robert Danhi. I just need to modify a few things but it’s really good!

    The weather is getting warmer and sky is blue… BBQ time! I have his book but haven’t opened it for a while. Time to revisit for Thai inspiration. Meanwhile your ribs look absolutely perfect. Look at the glaze… I’m famous for finishing 9 pieces myself. :D

    Ray, I will not even try to imagine the irresistible taste and texture of these beauties. As much as I love Thai cuisine, I have never tasted pork ribs Thai way. It only adds positive points and convinces me I’d fall in love at first bite.

    Absolutely delicious ribs which we all at times just crave!! May I just very gently ask about the quantity of fish sauce you use: even 1 Tb leaves such a profound taste :) ?! A quarter cup: may I say you are a barve one!!!

      I was a bit worried about the amount when I first saw it. But then I thought about it — it is 6 lbs of kind-of- hard to penetrate ribs hmm. . . maybe the author had a culinary point. It turned out perfect and not too salty. Thank you very much for the comment, Eha! :)

    These ribs sure are finger licking good. Like the idea of using the cilantro stems in the marinade and the leaves in the sauce.

      Stems you get more of the cilantro juice for the marinade. Thank you for the kind words, Norma! :)

    Ray – every time I come over to your site, I ruin my computer screen. Not only does it not like being poked, now it’s messy. :) These are some fingerlicking good ribs! It’s starting to warm up over here, so I’ll have to send this recipe to Bobby with a “Hint – Hint. What’s for dinner Darlin?” :) He’s my grillmaster. Hope you had a great weekend my friend!

    Loving that Thai inspired glaze. Beautiful presentation. My only problem might be your portion size might only feed one teenagers, would have to most certainly quadruple this recipe. finger looking good. Take Care, BAM
