Fish Sauce Ribs

[Peter Gallagher]

We were up in Seattle for the weekend, so I was able to go to the Asian grocery to lay in some supplies:

On the way home we stopped at my favorite butcher in Portland and scored among other things, these amazing baby backs:

One more shot , because they are so pretty:

We brined them over night in fish sauce, water, garlic, shallots and pepper:

on they go:

After about 5 hours:

No plated shots. hockey game came on, so priorities shifted to eating and watching the game. - They were pretty good

I never thought of trying fish sauce on ribs, I'll be the second to ask if you'd do it again.

 

[Chris Lynch]

Very unique approach. As a lover of Thai food I really wish I could taste them. Great photos.

Those look like Fatty 'Cue ribs! Ive had the ingredients
for those since last year and never got around to making them. I just may do it now. How'd the cook go ? Did you use any wood? if so what kind?

As someone who goes to Portland regularly, who's your favorite Butcher? Those ribs do look good. I'll join the refrain of how did the fish sauce brine turn out?

Thank you, sir! this recipe is part of our rib rotation. We make them a few times a year. There's no doubt the fish sauce is some super stinky stuff, - however it really works well with pork in general -

yes - I dug out a thread of this recipe from last year here. It's certainly something different, but we really like it. A nice change from our normal 'house' ribs.

It went great - I used peach wood this time. I've done them with apple as well, both worked great.

I like Gartners They are super old-school but have all the goods. Their pork is Carleton Farms which I really like a lot.

Nice looking ribs!! I would have never of thought to use fish sauce as a marinade either.

 

[Mildo]

Really amazing looking ribs Peter!

 

[Andy Beers]

They look fantastic

 

[Mike Coffman]

Ribs look excellent Peter! My question is, since I've never eaten Thai food,
is how much fish taste did it gives the ribs?

I 2nd this. I am always looking for new methods and styles in cooking and was wondering the same thing.
