Ribs in the Oven Recipe

Don’t be scared of the long list of ingredients. The ribs comes together faster than you think with most of cook time as “walk away” time as the ribs roast in the oven. Most of the ingredients you should have in your household and the few “exotic” ingredients you might not have (fish sauce and roasted Thai chili paste) can be found at an Asian grocery store or a well stocked upscale grocery store. If you can’t find fish sauce, just use 2 more tablespoons of soy sauce and omit the salt. If you can’t find the Thai chili paste, use whatever hot sauce you have around or just use 1 tablespoon of red chili flakes. I’ve made these ribs so many times that it’s rather ridiculous that I haven’t blogged about them. It’s my go-to ribs recipe. Considering how much AJ likes ribs, I make ribs fairly often too. Probably too often now that I think of it. But no one’s complaining about it in this household.
