Thai Style Sweet Chili Ribs Recipe


  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Ribs

  • 2 pounds pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Sweet Chili Glaze

  • 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ribs

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) or prepare your grill for indirect heat.
  2. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. For extra tenderness, wrap the seasoned ribs in foil and bake for 2 hours at 300°F (150°C). If grilling, cook indirectly for the same time.

Step 2: Make the Sweet Chili Glaze

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Glaze the Ribs

  1. Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven or grill and brush generously with the sweet chili glaze.
  2. If using the oven, return the ribs uncovered and increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 15–20 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through.
  3. If grilling, place the ribs over direct heat and grill for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with glaze.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Remove the ribs from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions.
  2. Slice between the bones and serve with extra sweet chili sauce on the side.
