Thai Time Sticky Ribs Recipes

THAI TIME STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• 1. Place the rub all over the ribs and let set over night.
• 2. MAKE THE BASTING SAUCE AND LET SIT THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH THE RIBS. TO MAKE THE SAUCE:
• 3. Heat vinegar and sugar on the stove until sugar is dissolved.
• 4. Take the vinegar mix and all of the other ingredients and blend them together. (I used a mini food processer. A little spilled out, but it wasn't a big mess.)
• 5. ON THE DAY OF RIB COOKING: Take the ribs out of the fridge and let stand while the oven is preheating to 250*. Add a coating of the basting sauce and place a "tent" over the top of the ribs. (I just folded a piece of aluminum foil and place on the ribs so that the air can still move through the meat.) Place in the oven for 2 hours.
• 6. After the 2 hours, take the ribs out and apply another helping of the basting sauce and put the tent back on the ribs and place back in the oven for another 2 hours.
• 7. Take the ribs out of the oven and apply another coat of basting sauce. Place the ribs back in the oven WITHOUT the tent for and additional 2 hours.
• 8. Take the ribs out of the oven and put another layer of the basting sauce on. Also put a layer of brown sugar over the top of the ribs. Put the oven on LOW BROIL and let the sugars melt completely. Remove from the oven once the brown sugar is cooked onto the ribs. (This step is also WITHOUT the tent.)
• 9. Cut and serve!

THAI PORK RIBS (SII KHRONG MUU TAI NAAM)

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.

STICKY ASIAN RIBS RECIPE (IN THE OVEN!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
• Remove the membrane from the ribs (if desired), then rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry.
• In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, dry mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Massage into ribs.
• Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, then cover them with another piece of foil.
• Bake ribs for 2 - 2 1/2 hours (check at 2 hours to see if they're done, continue cooking if they're not).
• While the ribs finish up cooking, in a saucepan over medium heat, add honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Bring mixture to a boil, then turn down heat.
• In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water, then add to the mixture and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
• Remove ribs from the oven and turn the temperature to broil. Brush ribs generously with sauce, then broil for 2-4 minutes (be sure to watch them closely so they don't burn).
• Top with sesame seeds and green onions.

THAI RIBS RECIPE

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 STICKY CHICKEN & RIBS

Steps:

• To make the marinade, put the chillies, coriander stalks, garlic, ginger, turmeric, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar and honey in a food processor. Whizz to a rough paste. Cut each chicken thigh into 2 pieces down the side of bone (so one side keeps the bone). Put all the chicken and ribs in a ceramic dish or suitable plastic container and pour over the marinade. Turn the meat over so it is coated, cover and put it in the fridge until needed (up to 24 hrs).
• Make the sauce. Put the sugar in a pan with 250ml water, bring to the boil, simmer for a few mins to make a sugar syrup, then stir in garlic, vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce and chilli. Cool, then stir in coriander. Will keep for 24 hrs in the fridge.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Lift the ribs into a baking dish, cover with foil and put in the oven for 1 hr. Add the chicken pieces around the ribs, turn up the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook, uncovered, for 20 mins or so until the chicken is cooked through. By now the surface of the ribs and chicken should be quite brown and the marinade slightly sticky; if it isn't, put the lot under the grill - but keep an eye on it.
• Cut the ribs into sections and pile onto a platter with the chicken, drizzle over some sauce and serve the rest alongside with the salad and some steamed rice.

STICKY CARAMEL RIBS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275ºF.
• Place ginger in a small food processor. Process until fully broken down into small pieces. Add shallots and pulse until shallots are in small pieces. Set mixture aside.
• Place ribs on sheet trays covered with aluminum foil. Generously season both sides of the racks with McCormick All Purpose Seasoning Himalayan Pink Salt with Black Pepper and Garlic. Spread ginger-shallot mixture over the top of each rib rack. Cover ribs tightly with foil.
• Cook ribs in oven for 2½ -3 hours, until tender. Remove from oven.
• Preheat broiler.
• Combine brown sugar, water, lime juice, and 3 tablespoons Thai Kitchen Fish Sauce in a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Let simmer until caramel thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 7-10 minutes. Melt in cold butter and immediately turn off heat. Stir in the extra 2 teaspoons of fish sauce.
• Unwrap ribs and brush evenly with caramel sauce.
• Broil ribs for 1-2 minutes (keeping a close eye because they will burn quickly).
• Remove from oven and brush with another layer of caramel sauce. Broil a second time for 1-2 minutes.
• Slice ribs and serve with a heavy garnish of cilantro and scallions, with lime wedges on the side.
• Enjoy!
