Chrissy Teigen's Fried Ribs

I made Chrissy Teigen's Thai Soy Garlic Fried Ribs from her cookbook!


1 rack baby back pork ribs (12–14 ribs), separated into individual ribs

2 Tbsp soy sauce

7 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Vegetable oil (for frying; about 2 qt.)

HOT PEPPER SAUCE

1 tsp red chili flakes

2 tbsp hot water

2 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp toasted rice powder (toast jasmine rice on low heat and grind up in a pestle and mortar)

pulp of 1 ripe heirloom tomato, discard the skin

  1. Place ribs in a large bowl. Add soy sauce, garlic, and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand to marinade at room temperature.

  2. Meanwhile for the sauce, mix everything together. Set aside.

  3. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 370°. (Or test oil by throwing in a little piece of bread or some breadcrumbs; if they sizzle immediately but aren’t burning, you’re ready.)

  4. Working in batches, fry ribs until just cooked and well browned, 3–4 minutes. Return oil to 370° between batches and try to skim out any stray bits of garlic so they don’t burn in the oil and make it taste like burnt garlic.

  5. Pour some sauce over the ribs. Enjoy!
