Slower Cooker Thai Style Pork Spare Ribs Recipes

SLOW COOKER SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Place ribs in a large stock pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and cook for 15 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together soup, onion, garlic, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Remove ribs from water, and transfer to a slow cooker. Pour sauce over ribs.
• Cover, and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or until ribs are tender.
• If sauce is too thin when cooking time is done, drain sauce from ribs, and pour into a sauce pan. Combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch with a small amount of cold water, stir into sauce, and bring sauce to boil. Cook until sauce has reached desired thickness.

THAI-STYLE SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Lay the ribs flat in a roasting pan. (You will have 4 long pieces.) Season lightly with salt on both sides.
• Make the marinade: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, tamarind paste, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne. Add the wine and 1/4 cup hot water and whisk well.
• Pour marinade over ribs to completely coat. Marinate at room temperature for 2 hours, turning once or twice, or cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 250 degrees. Transfer the roasting pan, uncovered, to the rack. Roast ribs for 1 1/2 hours, basting with pan juices and turning ribs over every 20 minutes or so. If pan juices seem to be drying out or burning, add a little water to the pan. (Alternatively, cook ribs over indirect heat in a covered charcoal grill, turning ribs every 20 minutes or so.)
• Pour juices from the roasting pan into a small saucepan. Spoon off fat from surface of sauce, then simmer sauce for a few minutes until slightly thickened, then use the juices to paint the ribs.
• Turn up oven heat to 400 degrees. Return ribs to oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until nicely glazed. (Alternatively, return ribs to the grill to glaze.)
• Use a sharp knife to divide ribs, cutting between the bones. Pile ribs onto a platter, sprinkle with garlic chives and cilantro, and serve.

SLOW-COOKER THAI STYLE RIBS

• In small bowl, stir remaining ingredients with wire whisk. Reserve 3/4 cup sauce for dipping; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining sauce over ribs. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate 8 hours, turning occasionally.
• Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Remove ribs from marinade; discard marinade. Place 1 rack of ribs in bottom of slow cooker; stand remaining rib racks on their sides around edge of slow cooker. Cover; cook on High heat setting 1 hour. Reduce heat setting to Low; cook 5 hours longer.
• In 1-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave reserved 3/4 cup sauce uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds or, stirring once, until thoroughly heated. Serve sauce with ribs.

SPICY SLOW-COOKER THAI STYLE RIBS

Steps:

• Spray 6- to 7-quart oval-shaped slow cooker with cooking spray. Cut rib racks in half. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients except cilantro sprigs. Place ribs in slow cooker, spooning sauce over each layer of ribs.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 hours or until tender and pork is no longer pink next to bones. Remove ribs from slow cooker; skim fat from cooking liquid. Strain cooking liquid.
• Set oven control to broil. Spray broiler pan rack or large roasting pan with cooking spray. Place ribs in pan, overlapping slightly. Heavily brush ribs with 1 cup of the strained cooking liquid. Broil with ribs about 5 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until glazed.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat remaining cooking liquid over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes or until thickened. Cut ribs into serving pieces; serve with sauce. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

SLOW COOKER SWEET & SPICY THAI-STYLE RIBS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the ribs all over with salt and pepper. Brush the ribs with 1/2 cup of the Thai Style Sweet & Spicy Chili Cooking Sauce. Transfer to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker insert. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
• Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
• Place each rib rack half, bone-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the remaining cooking sauce. Broil until the glaze is bubbling and browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Slice the ribs between the bones. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with cilantro and peanuts. Squeeze lime juice over the ribs.
