Tantalizing Sticky Tamarind Pork Ribs

Introducing: Sticky Tamarind Pork Ribs

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that was inspired by a recent trip to an Asian street food market. The tantalizing aroma of sticky tamarind sauce wafting through the air instantly transported me back to that bustling market, and I knew I had to recreate this incredible dish in my own kitchen. These mouthwatering Sticky Tamarind Pork Ribs are the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and savory flavors that will have your taste buds dancing with delight.

Ingredients:

• pork ribs (800g)
• tamarind paste (50g)
• brown sugar (100g)
• soy sauce (50ml)
• garlic cloves, minced (4 cloves)
• fresh ginger, grated (1 thumb-sized piece)
• chili flakes (1 tsp)
• sesame seeds (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

• oven
• baking tray
• mixing bowl
• whisk

Preparation:

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the tamarind paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes. Whisk everything together until well combined to create a sticky tamarind sauce.

Place the pork ribs in a baking tray and generously brush them with the sticky tamarind sauce, ensuring each rib is coated evenly. Reserve some of the sauce for basting later during the cooking process.

Cover the baking tray with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake the ribs for 1.5 hours, basting them with the reserved sauce every 30 minutes.

Once the ribs are cooked through and tender, remove them from the oven and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an extra crunch and nutty flavor.

Serving:

Serve these Sticky Tamarind Pork Ribs hot, garnished with more sesame seeds for a visually stunning presentation. These ribs are best enjoyed with steamed jasmine rice and a refreshing side salad to balance out the richness of the dish.

Tips and Tricks:

For an extra caramelized finish, you can broil the ribs for a few minutes after they’re done baking to get a deliciously sticky coating on the outside.

Final Thoughts:

I hope you give these Sticky Tamarind Pork Ribs a try in your kitchen and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite! Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite herbs or spices to make it your own. Bon appétit!
