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.

ASIAN-STYLE BABY BACK RIBS



Asian-Style Baby Back Ribs image

There are hundred of versions of these sweet, sticky ribs. Too often they're preposterously cloying with little pork flavor. This recipe suffers none of that, its nuanced character derived from the melding of ginger, lemongrass, and chile in the braising liquid and the subtly spiced hoisin glaze. Despite the ribs' refined taste, they're properly messy, perfect with beer -- and invariably met with demands for more.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons safflower oil
1 rack baby back ribs, split in half (about 3 1/2 pounds)
5 ounces fresh ginger (about 5 inches), thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped lemongrass
1 dried Thai chile
2/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
5 cups water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/8 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 dried Thai chile
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar

Steps:

  • Make the ribs: Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ribs, working in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to a plate, leaving drippings in pot.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and add ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and chile. Cook until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add tamari or soy sauce, water, sugar, salt, and ribs. Cover, and gently simmer until ribs are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Make the glaze: Combine hoisin, garlic, tamari or soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, chile, orange zest, and vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat broiler. Remove ribs from liquid, and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Brush glaze all over ribs, and broil until glaze starts to bubble, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter, and brush with more glaze before serving.

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.

Categories     dinner, meat, main course

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.

Provided by Smithfield(R)

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Smithfield®

Time 5h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 racks Smithfield® Extra Tender Pork Back Ribs, membrane removed
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons fine sea salt
4 ½ teaspoons onion powder
4 ½ teaspoons chili powder
4 ½ teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
¾ cup clover honey
½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons red plum jam
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce*
1 cup Handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained
¾ cup tamarind juice, in a spray bottle*

Steps:

  • About one hour before you plan to start grilling, make the rub: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, onion powder, chili powder, paprika and pepper. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides of each rack with the rub. Set aside at room temperature for one hour.
  • Preheat the grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add the drained wood chips, if using.
  • Place the ribs, meaty side up, over a drip pan, close the grill, and cook for 2 hours, adding about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, jam, vinegar and garlic sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly thickened. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
  • Continue to cook the ribs until they're so tender the rack will easily break when bent with tongs, 1 to 2 more hours, spraying on both sides with the tamarind juice every 20 to 30 minutes. Brush the ribs on both sides with the sauce and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is set. Remove from the grill and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Cut the racks into 3- or 4-rib sections and serve. Pass any remaining sauce at the table.

1 cup diced white onion
1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium beef broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine oil, ginger, curry paste, allspice, salt and pepper in a small bowl to make a paste. Rub on ribs.
  • Put ribs, cinnamon, onion & broth into a 4 1/2 quart or larger crockpot. Cover and cook until beef is tender, 6 to 7 hours on low or 3 1/2 to 4 hours on high. Skim excess fat from broth. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality baby back ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will make them more tender.
  • Use a flavorful rub. The rub will help to add flavor to the ribs and will create a nice crust.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow. This will help to break down the connective tissue in the ribs and will make them fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs with sauce during the last hour of cooking. This will help to keep the ribs moist and will add additional flavor.

Conclusion:

Thai Spiced Baby Back Ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone good. The Thai spices give the ribs a unique and delicious flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
