Thai deep fried ribs

Zap is our favorite Thai place here in Auckland.  We love their deep friend pork ribs. We normally order one serving of this dish plus 2 plate of rice and we're solved! However, lately, we notice that they started minimising their servings.  They used to serve 15-20 mini spare ribs but now they only serve 10 spare ribs. I think they realised our strategy to save $$$. Oh well, being the frugal that we are, we searched the recipe in the net and tried cooking our own version.  It took me 3 trials to get the exact version, but all good now. So I'm confident to share the recipe now!  So here we go!!





Ingredients:
Pork spare ribs (about 20 pcs when chopped)
7-8 cloves of garlic, chopped in very small pieces, finely minced
1 tsp coriander leaves, minced
3-4 table spoon of fish sauce
1/4 -1/2 tsp of salt
pepper
1 egg, beaten
4-5 table spoon flour

1. Rub all the ingredients to the spare ribs and marinate in the fridge for one - two hours;
2. Once you are ready to cook add the egg and the flour to the mixture;
3. Coat the ribs with the egg and flour mixture;
4. Heat up the deep fryer and add the ribs in batches (oil should fully cover the ribs to cook well);
5. Serve with rice.

I usually put fish sauce or patis with chili as my dip ("sawsawan") while eating it with rice! yum!

Enjoy!
