STICKY GARLIC PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, and fish sauce in a bowl for the marinade. Add a splash of soy sauce and a plop of ketchup. Finish off with black pepper and hot sauce.
• Pour 1/2 of the marinade into a baking dish and lay pork chops over marinade. Pour the remaining marinade on top and toss pork chops until well coated. Wrap with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, flipping chops every 30 minutes, 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove chops to a plate, scraping any excess marinade back into the baking dish.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place chops in the hot oil. Cook until outsides are nicely charred and meat springs back when lightly prodded, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chops to a plate to rest.
• Pour the marinade into the skillet. Raise heat to medium-high. Cook until marinade is reduced and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes. Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook pork chops, flipping and basting occasionally, until the centers are slightly pink and sauce is to your desired degree of stickiness, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork should read about 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Plate each pork chop and spoon a portion of the sticky garlic sauce on top.

THAI CRISPY FRIED PORK WITH GARLIC, 'MOO TOD GRATIEM'

Steps:

• Pound your pork slices with a meat mallet to soften it, then transfer to a mixing bowl. In a mortar & pestle, pound 1/2 head of garlic. Add corriander powder, Thai pepper powder, and pound into a paste. Add this paste to the pork in a mixing bowl. Add corn starch, fish sauce, thin soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil. Mix well and let this marinade in the fridge for 1/2 hour or longer. Heat wok, and add just enough oil to fry your pork. Over medium/low heat (not too high), cook your pork in the oil and be careful not to over cook it. Fry both sides until golden brown. Remove from wok. Remove any bits of blackened garlic from the oil. Next, add 1/2 head of sliced garlic. Quickly remove it from the oil as soon as it gets brown. Set the garlic on a paper towel to dry for a few minutes. Put fried garlic on top of the pork, serve with cilantro as a garnish (optional), and your favorite rice. Enjoy!

STICKY GRILLED PORK RIBS | MARION'S KITCHEN

Steps:

• Step 1.Preheat the oven to 120°C/250°F.
• Step 2.Combine the hoisin, ketchup and chilli sauce in a large bowl. Reserve ¼ cup in a separate small bowl so you can baste the ribs as they grill later.
• Step 3.Add the pork ribs to the large bowl and toss until each rib is evenly coated. Transfer to a baking tray lined with foil. Place another sheet of foil on top and seal to form a tight foil 'bag'. Cook in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
• Step 4.Meanwhile, for the creamy Thai basil lime potato salad, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 25 minutes or until tender. Remove them from the water and allow to cool a little. Use a tea towel to hold each warm potato as you peel off the skin. Cut the peeled potatoes into chunky dice and place in a large bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients and toss until well combined. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
• Step 5.Remove the ribs from the oven. Turn the oven up to 200°C/390°F.
• Step 6.Transfer the foil bag to a heat-proof surface. Remove the top layer of foil, being careful because the steam inside the bag will be hot. Turn the ribs to coat them in the sauce that's accumulated in the bottom of the tray.
• Step 7.Heat a barbecue grill plate or frying pan over high heat. Brush the plate or frying pan with oil. Grill the pork ribs for 3-4 minutes each side, basting with the reserved marinade, or until just slightly charred. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with the creamy Thai basil lime potato salad.

HOW TO MAKE THAI STICKY RICE (วิธีทำ ข้าวเหนียว)

Steps:

• The night before you want to cook sticky rice, take your raw sticky rice, place it into a bowl or plastic tub, submerge in water, and allow to soak room temperature overnight. Alternatively, you can soak for at least 4 - 5 hours, but overnight is best.
• Take the sticky rice out of the water (and the grains should be softer and a little swollen), and place into a bamboo steamer, or any type of steamer. Cover the steamer with either a lid, or you can do what I did and cover the basket with a cloth, then a metal lid - just to keep all the steam within the rice.
• Add water to a pot with the steamer over the pot (just make sure the water doesn't touch the sticky rice), and once the water comes to a boil, steam for 15 - 20 minutes (usually 15 minutes for me is perfect) on a medium heat.
• After 15 minutes take off the lid carefully, because it will be very hot, and just grab a taste test of the sticky rice to make sure it's soft and fluffy. If it's still a little crunchy, steam for a few more minutes, but if it's good to go, turn off the heat and either eat immediately, or transfer to some sort of airtight container or basket to hold until you're ready to eat.
• Enjoy Thai sticky rice while it's hot and fresh.

GRILLED THAI PORK TENDERLOIN WITH COCONUT LIME PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all of the marinade ingredients except for the pork tenderloin in a bowl and whisk together. Place the pork tenderloin in a large ziptight bag and pour the marinade over it, sealing well and marinating in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
• Remove the meat from the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking and let it sit on the counter to take off the chill. When ready to cook, heat the grill to high and place the the marinated pork tenderloin on the hot grill. Reserve the marinade.
• Grill the marinated pork tenderloin over high heat with the lid closed for 5-6 minutes, then flip it over and grill another 5-6 minutes. Turn the grill off but leave the lid closed and let the tenderloin continue to cook for another 5 minutes until it reaches 140-145 degrees F on an instant-read meat thermometer. Pull the meat off the grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
• While the meat is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Let it simmer for a minute or two to kill any bacteria and thicken it into a wonderful coconut lime peanut sauce. After the pork tenderloin is sliced and ready to serve, drizzle it with the sauce and serve any reminder on the side.
• Combine the cucumber salad ingredients in a bowl for 15 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove the serrano peppers and serve. If you prefer a spicy salad, you could very thinly slice the serrano pepper and leave it in the salad.

• When ready to serve, turn up the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Mix the barbecue sauce with the garlic, ginger, lime zest and juice. Put the cooked ribs on a foil-lined baking tray and brush generously all over with the barbecue sauce. Cook for 20 minutes until sticky and caramelised (or see Make Ahead).
• For the mango salad, first make the dressing. In the small bowl of a food processor whizz together the chilli, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, oil, sugar and shrimp paste. (Or finely chop the chilli and garlic and put in a bowl, then add the lime juice, fish sauce, oil, sugar and shrimp paste and mix well.) Toss the dressing in a serving bowl with the mango, papaya, shallot, chopped peanuts and herbs. Serve straightaway with the ribs.

• Cut the broccoli into florets, then cook in a pan of boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Add the noodles and cook according to the packet instructions. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water, and set aside.
• Peel the garlic and ginger, finely slice the garlic, then cut the ginger into matchsticks.
• Heat the groundnut oil in a large pan or wok over a high heat, then fry the garlic and ginger for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Add the pork (reserving the marinade) and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until browned.
• Add the marinade and reduce the heat a little. Toss the pork to coat and fry for a few minutes until sticky and cooked through.
• Add the noodles, broccoli and reserved cooking water and toss. Once it's lovely and sticky, stir through the beansprouts for the final 30 seconds or until heated through.

STICKY CHINESE PORK BELLY

Steps:

• Add pork belly slices, stock, ginger, garlic, rice wine and sugar to a heavy-based pan. I use a cast iron casserole pan.
• Bring to the boil, then place a lid on, turn down the heat and simmer for 2 hours.
• Turn off the heat, remove the pork from the pan and pat it dry using kitchen towels. You can reserve the liquid if you like (Perfect for a Thai or Chinese noodle soup).
• Chop the pork into bite sized chunks.
• In a small bowl, mix together 1 tbsp of the oil, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, the ginger, chilli, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce and lemongrass paste.
• Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to a frying pan and heat over a medium-high heat.
• Add in the pork, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and fry, turning regularly, until the pork starts to turn golden. Be careful as the oil can splatter at this stage (I recommend a splatter guard).
• Now pour the glaze over the pork and continue to cook for a couple of minutes, turning the pork often, until the pork looks dark and sticky.
• Remove from the heat and serve. I like to top with a few spring onions and chopped chillies.

THAI ROAST PORK WITH STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Wash and pat dry the pork. Slice into large pieces--about 1inch thick. Poke both sides of each piece with a fork or skewer and place in a flat bottom container with lid. Blend oyster sauce, sugar, the two soys and whiskey well. Pour over the pork and mix. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour. Overnight for best result. Soak sticky rice in water for 30 minutes and drain well. Pour rice in a wet-paper towel lined steamer and steam over high heat for 40 to 45 minutes. Place cooked rice in a container and mix with the oil to coat well. Cover and set aside. Charcoal grill the pork over medium heat until well done. Drizzle some of the marinating liquid on each side halfway through the cooking time. In a small sauce pan, bring the rest of marinating liquid to a boil and pour into a gravy bowl. Slice pork into 1 X 1½ inch pieces and about ¼ inch thick. Spread the rice onto a platter. Cover with the pork pieces and pour the marinating liquid over the pork. Sprinkle cilantro, green onions and chilies. Garnish with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes.

THAI RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Chop up the ribs, being sure to leave on the fat (helps flavor the dish). Pack ribs into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or pan.
• Combine marinade ingredients, stirring to dissolve sugar, and pour over the ribs. Turn to saturate all sides. Marinate at least 10 minutes while you warm up the oven (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, covered).
• Preheat oven to 325 F. The marinade should be 1/4- to 1/2-inch deep around the ribs. (If your baking pan is larger, you may need to add up to 1/4 cup water to achieve this.) Cover with lid or foil and bake 1 hour.
• Remove from oven. There should be at least 1/2 inch of sauce in the pan. While you have the dish out, turn over any ribs that look dry, ensuring most of the meaty parts are covered with sauce. Cover and return to oven for 1 more hour.
• While ribs are baking, combine Thai Sauce ingredients together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium (it will smell rather pungent as the vinegar burns off). Boil 10 to 12 minutes, or until sauce has been reduced by 1/3 and has thickened.
• Remove from heat and add 1/2 tablespoon lime juice. Once it has cooled, do a taste-test: it should be tangy, with strong sweet, sour, and spicy tones, plus a little salty. Adjust the flavors by adding more sugar if you find it too sour, more cayenne if you'd like it spicier, or more fish sauce if you'd like it saltier. Add more lime juice if too sweet or salty. Note that it will taste strong now, but will be delicious when combined with the ribs.
• When ribs are cooked to your liking, transfer to a serving bowl or platter (bring some of the marinade with them). Now drizzle over the tangy Thai sauce and top with the green onion and coriander. Serve with jasmine rice and enjoy!
