Buffalo Thai Chili Pork Country Ribs with Peanuts

Happy New Year and thanks for reading!

Let's roll out the New Year and celebrate 10 years of food blogging in cuisineici.blogspot.com and cuisineeric.blogspot.com with a fun Asian dish that would be a hit for a New Year's celebration! You could roast up for four or scale up to 20 with this fun dish. Happy New Year and happy 10 years of reading - thanks for visiting, and look forward to much more!

Sauce:

1 cup Thai sweet chili sauce

1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce

4 Tbsp butter, melted

1 lb pork boneless country ribs

1/2 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 400F. Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a baking casserole. Submerge the pork in the sauce.

Bake the pork for about 35-45 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked through (reading at least 150F on a meat thermometer).

Remove pork from sauce to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes, covered with aluminum foil. Pour sauce into a serving bowl.

Slice pork into serving strips. Serve garnished with sauce and chopped peanuts, on rice and with other favorite sides. Serve extra sauce on the side.

Serves 4.

Cook’s Note: Here I went a bit unconventional and served the dish next to a fresh spinach salad. I love the contrast of the hot saucy dish and a cold crisp salad. But you can choose whatever you love. Maybe steamed bok choy, green beans or broccoli?

Umami Beef Short Ribs Samin Nosrat
