Ingredients

• 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
• 0.25 cup Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption. Rinse the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, lime juice, Thai red curry paste, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. If you like extra heat, stir in the optional Sriracha.

Step 4

Divide the marinade into two portions. Reserve half for basting later, and use the other half as a marinade for the ribs.

Step 5

Place the ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 6

Place the marinated ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Seal the ribs in the foil to create a packet, which will help them steam and stay moist during cooking. Place the packet on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.

Step 8

While the ribs are baking, prepare your grill or preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil packet. Discard the liquid and transfer the ribs to the grill.

Step 10

Brush the reserved marinade generously over the ribs and grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the ribs are slightly charred and sticky.

Step 11

Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice into individual ribs.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy with steamed jasmine rice or a fresh cucumber salad for a complete meal.
