Grilled Asian Ribs With Peanut Sauce Recipes

EXTRA STICKY THAI BBQ RIBS W/PEANUT BBQ SAUCE + SWEET THAI GINGER SLAW.

Steps:

• If using baby back ribs take a butter knife, wedge it just underneath the membrane to loosen and pull the membrane up and off the bone. Then just use your hands to pull the rest of the membrane off.
• Place the ribs in a large baking dish or roasting pan.
• In a large 4 cup glass measuring cup or bowl combine the sweet thai chili sauce, soy sauce, red curry paste, fish sauce, ginger, garlic and pepper. Whisk to combine and then pour the marinade over the ribs. Place the ribs in the fridge overnight, turning then once or twice if possible to make sure they get fully covered in the marinade.
• The next morning or afternoon (depending on when you plan to eat) preheat the oven 300 degrees F. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 2 1/2-6 hours (if you go the full six hours bake them at 275 degrees F.) or until very tender. Try to baste the ribs once or twice during cooking. During this time I prepare the BBQ sauce and slaw (recipes below).
• When the ribs are done cooking preheat the grill to medium high heat and grease the grates. Remove the ribs from the baking dish and place them a baking sheet or large tray. Cover the ribs in the Peanut BBQ sauce (recipe below) and grill 3-5 minutes per side or until lightly charred. Be careful flipping the ribs as the will be very tender. Serve the ribs with more Peanut BBQ sauce and the Thai Slaw (recipes below).
• In a large glass measuring cup or bowl whisk together the soy sauce, ketchup, warm/melted peanut butter, sweet thai chili sauce, rice vinegar, thai red curry paste, Chinese 5 spice, lime juice and cilantro. If the sauce is not mixing place it in the microwave or over the stove and warm until everything is melted together. If the sauce is to thick add water to your liking.
• Add the cabbage, zucchini, red pepper, orange pepper, jalapeno, cilantro and basil to a large bowl. In another small bowl whisk together the lime juice, rice wine vinegar, sweet thai chili sauce, warmed/melted peanut butter, fish sauce, soy sauce and fresh ginger. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss well to coat. Place in the fridge until ready to serve and then add the peanut. The slaw can be made the night before.

Fold foil over, enclosing ribs loosely in foil. Bake until ribs are tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool ribs slightly. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep ribs enclosed in foil in pan and refrigerate.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat) or preheat broiler. Unwrap ribs. Using tongs, transfer ribs to work surface. Cut rib sections between bones into individual ribs. If broiling, place ribs on baking sheet. Grill or broil ribs until well browned, about 3 minutes per side.
• Place ribs on platter. Arrange vegetables and Peanut Sauce alongside.
