Grilled Spare Ribs with Mushrooms Brown Rice



BBQ baby back ribs are a classic favorite... But tonight I decide to prepare them the Asian way. First I marinate the ribs with some fish sauce, soy sauce and honey , minced shallots and lemongrass for about 30 mn. The ribs are then laid in a foil lined oven platter and into a preheated oven at around 300 degrees F for about couple hours. The slow cooking makes the pork really tender. Then I set the oven to broil (around 500 degrees F), until the pork is well browned, about 5 mn, then turn the ribs over to the other side for another 5 mn.  Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for about 10 mn before slicing into individual ribs.

In the meantime I saute assorted sliced mushrooms such as shitake, oyster, straw mushrooms in a little olive oil and garlic, then I mix them with the brown rice, and add water to cook in the rice cooker till ready and fragrant. It's a perfect accompaniment to the grilled spare ribs...
