Fried ribs are a delicious way to prepare pork and beef ribs. Frying pig ribs is a less frequent technique of cooking ribs than braising, smoking, or grilling, but it's popular in Thailand, because the ribs come together fast without the need for precooking or baking. The ribs are coated in a spicy cilantro marinade, and seasoned flour is all that's needed before they go into the oil.

Thai Marinated Crispy Fried Pork Ribs

Place garlic, cilantro, fish sauce, and sherry in a food processor or high-speed blender.

Place the pork ribs in a mixing bowl and add the marinade. Toss well to coat. Cover and set in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour with the salt and pepper. Gently roll the ribs in the flour mixture until well coated.

Heat at least 1-inch deep of oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat. If you don't have a thermometer and want to be sure that the oil is ready, simply dip one corner of a floured rib into the oil; if it begins to sizzle, the oil is ready.

Carefully place the first batch of ribs in the oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan or disturb them during the first minute of frying. Reduce heat to medium or just hot enough to keep ribs frying nicely.

Fry the ribs 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until they become a deep golden brown. To see if they are cooked, check with an instant-read thermometer or simply remove one from the oil and slice it open close to the bone. It should be white or a very light pink inside.

Remove the ribs from the oil and drain on a clean paper towel; alternatively, place the ribs on a cooling rack while you fry the rest and collect the drippings on a plate. Keep warm while cooking the remaining ribs.
