Thai Spareribs

Chili BowlBuy ingredients for this recipe!

Unlike most braises, these ribs aren't browned before they're simmered. The long, slow simmer tenderizes the meat, and the ribs get their brown, shiny exterior from a soy and brown sugar marinade.

Ingredients

6 pounds meaty spareribs (about 2 racks), cut into 2-rib portions
Boiling water
2 large stalks fresh lemongrass
1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup dry Sherry
2 tablespoons Thai peanut sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled, chopped
3/4 cup canned coconut milk

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange ribs in single layer in large roasting pan. Add just enough boiling water to cover ribs. Cover pan with foil. Oven-braise ribs until almost tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, cut bottom 2 inches from each lemongrass stalk (discard upper portions). Slice lemongrass into thin rounds; place in blender. Add 1/2 cup soy sauce, sugar, Sherry, peanut sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger; blend until almost smooth. Blend in coconut milk and remaining 6 tablespoons soy sauce for marinade. Cool ribs, still covered, 30 minutes. Transfer ribs to heavy-duty 2-gallon resealable plastic bag; discard braising liquid. Pour marinade into bag. Seal top and turn several times to coat ribs evenly. Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally. Preheat oven to 350°F. Using tongs, arrange ribs in single layer on large rimmed baking sheet. Spoon marinade from bag over ribs. Roast uncovered until ribs are very tender, basting often with marinade, about 1 1/2 hours. Arrange ribs on platter. Scrape marinade into pitcher for sauce; spoon off fat that rises to surface. Brush sauce generously over ribs. Serve with jasmine rice, passing remaining sauce alongside.
