I got kinda tired of the same rib recipe that I usually make, so I tried this the other night instead. These came out great. (sorry no pics)

Thai Baby Back Ribs

2 Racks Baby Back Ribs


Thai BBQ Sauce:
6 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons finely minced ginger
8 serrano peppers or other hot chiles, minced, including seeds
4 small green onions, green and white parts, minced
¼ cup minced cilantro sprigs
1 tablespoon grated or minced lime zest
juice from 3 limes
1 cup hoisin sauce
½ cup rice wine vinegar
¼ cup Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons flavorless cooking oil


Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs.


Combine all of the BBQ ingredients and stir well.


Marinade the ribs in about ½ of the sauce in the fridge for a few hours. I cut the racks in half and marinade the ribs in gallon ziplock bags. Save the other ½ of the sauce to serve with the cooked ribs.


I smoked the ribs, but you can cook them any other way you normally cook ribs as well. I smoked them at 220F for a few hours, then wrapped them in foil and coated them with more sauce. I smoked them for another 45 minutes or so until they were perfectly tender.


I also had plenty of the sauce left and used it on kabobs the next day.
