Thai Style Crispy Garlic Pork Rib Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the fried garlic

Pound 60g of garlic in a mortar and pestle until roughly chopped. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over low heat. Add the pounded garlic and fry, stirring constantly, until crispy and golden brown. Remove the fried garlic from the oil and set aside in a bowl, retaining the oil for later use.

Step 2: Prepare the pork rib marinade

Pound 1/2 tsp of white peppercorn in a mortar and pestle. Add 15g of garlic to the mortar and pound together with the peppercorn until well combined. Place 350g of pork ribs in a mixing bowl. Add the pounded garlic and peppercorn mixture. Add 1 tsp of oyster sauce, 1 tsp of fish sauce, and 1 tsp of soy sauce to the pork ribs. Mix thoroughly to ensure the pork ribs are well coated with the marinade. Marinate the pork ribs for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Fry the pork ribs

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated pork ribs to the hot oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until they turn a rich brown color and are cooked through. Remove the fried pork ribs from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil.

Step 4: Serve

Arrange the crispy garlic pork ribs on a serving plate, garnished with fresh lettuce and red chilies. Sprinkle the previously fried garlic over the pork ribs before serving.

• Fry garlic on low heat to prevent burning and ensure crispiness.

• Stir pork ribs frequently during frying for even cooking and color.
