Cambodian style spare ribs

[Gary H. NJ]

Seems I'm on an Asian kick lately. Even more so than usual. Saw this recipe and had to try.
"Set it and forget it" has its pros and cons. I can Q while clicking things off my honeydo list...
Chopping wood today. Luckily I remembered to do it before real summer arrived. In the low 80's today and dry...

So here's the recipe for the ribs. Tasty and as suspected, subtle, so I kept the smoke low with two tiny chunks of apple. Didn't want to mask the flavors entirely. Took about 5 hours at 250, no basting. I keep it simple...
Sorry no prep pics, but you get the idea. The dipping sauce is a sweet, lime with garlic andThai chili sauce. Like I said -- worth it. Please try if you want a change up and like Asian flavors. Fresh lemon grass for the marinade is a must. No substitutions.

I love eggplant, so here is Japanese nasu dengaku again with the long Asian eggplant. The sauce is a thick caramelized sugar and miso sauce (dengaku). Delish.

Simple greens. This is tou-miao, snow pea tips stir fried with ginger/garlic oil and a little salt. That's it.

Thanks for the visit. Hope everyone enjoys their week!
