Hi Guys I have bought some ribs from Nookie, anyone got any killer receipes for ribs, with ingredients I can buy in Thailand?
Cheers Adam
-
Marinate in cider vinegar. Then onto the charcoal grill for about 1.5 hours.
I am currently doing this, and adding cajun spices (that I brought from the US). Works well. I was skeptical at 1st, but when I tried it the ribs were well flavored and juicy. I plan to do ribs again this week. The local Makro usually has decent grilling ribs as opposed to what Thai's use. Cider Vinegar it at Big C or Taweekit
My Brit buddy helped me eat the last batch, he said they were very tasty.
I get good charcoal from Home Pro, a bit expensive, but better than the local product.
-
Well I got the ribs at Makro, marinated them as described, then invited 5 Farangs to join (on was a no show). The ribs were excellent, the fries crispy and the beer cold (ice on the side if needed). Had a good mix of guys, a Scouser, Korean, Swede (w/son), and myself.
-
I would have loved to take the place of the no-show urleft ... great ribs bravo1
-
I am telling my TG I would lke better grill. I just showed her what I want, if she buys for me, I will grill a lot more.
I love to cook ribs, I do about once a month. I also like to talk crap while I am eating.
Anyone else want to be invited to my next cookout? I think my requirement will be to bring some beer.
-
Alright,Urleft,sounds good,I'll try and find some good beer to bring,PM me a week before,JasonB.
-
I am cooking ribs 11 Oct about 6 pm, can invite 2 more. I have invitations to Jason and dundeemk6 but would be surprised if they could make in on short notice.
So 1st to say they will be here (subject to J/D), will get the invitation.

-
Wow, no takers
-
Thank you for the invite but I had a trip planned to the cambodian market, my 90-day reporting and a visit to Chong Chom market with the family ... just home : 20.30 ... showertime and to bed ...
-
Is Chong Chom the same as the Poipet border?
-
Sorry, after reviewing the maps clearly not the case. I do not reccomend the Poipet border for any "farang" even if (or maybe especially when) traveling with Thai. Was in LOS last week on business, just a quick trip to the border to see how it goes. Thai side not so bad, (but not great), cambodia side....CRAP. I was lucky to get out of there without being part of a multinational incident!! Biggest thing, make sure you get your visa anyplace but Cambodia. They absolutely refused my 20 USD, charged me extra for no photo (none was taken either), and the price in baht went from 600 to 700 to 900 in one breath. They see white folk coming and they jump up to be the first to grab the money. Kind of like used care salesmen in USA.... swordfight love4
-
Sorry, used *car. And for the insurance F*CKS watching this post.....I was on scheduled vacation! slapfight
-
Well the ribs turned out very good, tried 2 different seasonings and some BBQ sauce.

Immigration make nosecret that they "make a business" out of theirrole.
At Chong Chom I understand it costs up to 1,400 Baht to do your visa run. This includes a 300 Baht charge for "not staying in Cambodia one night".
For visa runs they will not accept $20.
I have paid $20 for a kosha visit in the past but have agreed to pay $25 per person for any tour groups, so as to avoid any "issues".

Perhaps you should consider removing that tattoo on your forehead!

Urleft, those ribs look goooood. I hope some day we can get together, share some ribs and brews!

Be glad to invite you over.
I really like ribs this way. Unfortunately Thai's seem to cut them to tiny bones and cook them dry. There used to be a guy at the Night Bizarre that sold decent ribs, but he closed up shop. Too bad as I used to have his ribs about once a week.
-
Was in Makro Today, they had some really good looking ribs, I'm going to grill on Wednesday 23 Oct.
Anyone want an invite?
-
I have room for 1 maybe 2 more for ribs tomorrow, 10 April about 530 pm.
Let me know if you want to attend. And Yes Paul this even includes someone as senile as you.
-
Urleft......go to the fresh market in Buriram town early in the morning, about 5am is good.. Much better than Makro.
-
LOL, my alarm clock is my 7 month old. Some days it's 6 other days it's 8.
I will take that under advisement. But I have not seen good ribs in the market, maybe because my lazy ass never made it to the market at 5 am.
Cheers
-
I still have food for one more, the Brit can't make. But have another American and a Belgian.
-
Got a full house.
-
Keith, thanks for the invite, much appreciated. For the moment I'm in Belgium prepping my dad's garden for the summer, I shall be back the 5th of may.
Have a good time, cheers.
-
Well, had a Belgian in the group so you would be more than welcome.
I headed back to the US shortly, but expect to back home on 16 May, probably around 20ish May I may do again. If I am going to cook one slab of ribs it is just as easy to cook 4. So might as well share.
And the Thai Ladies had a good time, maybe the other BE member can provide his comments.
-
I am looking forward to joining you all when I get there. I hope to meet some of you when I come for a visit hopefully in October. party3
-
Keith,I'm sorry I didn't respond.......I've only just read the thread......Thx for the invite,I wouldn't have been able to make as I had large deliveries from Pattaya yesterday.

Keith ... you cook a terrific rack of ribs ! Had a really enjoyable evening at your place ... thanks again. Good company, beaut ribs, cold Leo, plenty of laughs and interesting conversations. Can't wait to see the photos. (I think ?)
The girls had a great night also, and the comment from my lady was "wow ... you farangs talk more than Thai women !"
Keith ... you had better buy an extra case of Smirnoff for next time 555
-
Yes, had a very good time, lots of laughs.
Here are the pics (The other guy had already left):
-
I'm planning on cooking ribs tomorrow 18 May. I have room for 1 more. Let me know.
-
Nice!
-
Seat Taken.
-
From the other day:
-
Cooking Ribs tomorrow, have room for 1 more.
-

The responses I got were based on BYOB. My 6 x 12 snooker is scheduled to be delivered 30 July.
So a good time should be had by all.
-
Wow, no takers
Maybe when you have some decent Jalapeno peppers.
-
Oh but having indecent Jalapenos with cream cheese and cheddar is worth the adventure.
-
Urleft, I agree...
-
Urleft,
Ribs look great, where did you buy them
-
At Marko. It is hit or miss about them having them. Have not seen any for about a month, but yesterday they had an OK selection (5 slabs, I bought 4).
-
A good place to get great, fresh ribs is at one of the numerous afternoon markets in and around Buriram.
One near the Elephant roundabout on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. One in Nongbep on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.(Can get there from the bypass by turning right at the traffic lights at Tambon Issan office, or from the town by turning left at the traffic lights near the bus station and going past the small Esso petrol station). Wednesday and Sunday at the junction of the 218 and 226.
I believe there is also one near to where you live, Urleft. Thursday and Sunday?
They usually set up and are ready to sell at 4pm (ish). Get there a little before, just as they are starting to butcher, and you can get the guy to cut to your liking.
-
Yes they sell ribs, but Thai style with a small strip of bones and some meat. Some of my favorite part of ribs it the meat on the inside. I haven't seen any like what I get at Makro in the local markets.
And at the Ban Yang Wat they have a market every Tuesday and Friday. So I usually get to a local market at least twice a week. However, I am unsure of buying pork there with all the flies on the unrefidgerated meat being butchered right there. For those that have not seen that, the Thai way to get rid of flies is to attach a plastic bag to a stick and swish at the flies.
-
Get there early, Urleft, before they start cutting. I have been to the one at the junction of the 218 and 226 at about 3:30. The guy starts with half a carcass. I show him what I want.
I got a shoulder last week, with skin and fat still on.Hot oven for 40 minutes to cook the skin and make it crispy. Then Slow roasted it for 2 hours over some onions, leeks, carrots and some home made passata.
-
Well, no additional takers, but had 2 Brits, an Aussie, myself and 3 TWs there, end result was no ribs left.
And I had my support fridge ready for them:
-
I may have space for another couple on Friday 15 Aug, let me know if you want to attend.
-
Wow, no takers. My usual Brits cancelled, but I have an Aussie and a Belgium attending.
So still have room for 1 more.
-

Keith,that should tell you something........but doubt it!

As usual Paul is talking out his 4th point of contact. And didn't you try to chide me about not inviting you? When I had.
All seats are taken. Better luck next time.
-
Well from my standpoint a good time was had by all. Even when an expat mentioned that his political view diverdged from mine, amazing how my response of "So" was accepted without question. Follow on disguession included John Wayne's role in "The Quiet Man"
-
Thanks for hosting another really beaut night Keith. The Cajun BBQ ribs were sensational and I'm certain everyone enjoyed the evening. I'd love to know what the ladies were discussing, as they giggled all night. Maybe it was your dancing prowess Keith ?
Unfortunately the photos of you dancing were too blurry to post here. Thank God for that. 5555 thumbup
Look forward to some "hustling" on the billiard table next time. Cheers
-
Yes, I will host a snooker night in the near future.
-
Think I have room for one more couple on Wed 12 Nov for Ribs. Let me know.
-
Wow, nice table and man cave!!! Next time out I would love to come by for a visit!
-
DD, you are more than welcome, and not just because I owe you.
-
cooking 5 slabs of ribs tomorrow. Have room for 1 maybe 2 more couples, 2 of my regulars can't make it.
PM me if you want an invite. The TWs have a great time, just ask smooth2.
-
Wow, what a mix. a Belgiam, Korean, Swede, 4 Americans, a Brit, and 5 Thai wives. End result was no left over ribs, even though I slightly overcooked (new grill).
Too bad my favorite Aussie couldn't make it, his crazy lady was missed.
-
Made some ribs last night and used a new BBQ Sauce I bought at Tops, Night of the Living BBQ Sauce. Slightly sweet with little bit of heat. Very good IMHO. Recommend it.
-
Looking good Keith, was at nookie's today for some stuff, never seen soo many people there ... but nook has a bit of a foot problem ... needs some serious med attention ... wish hime the best ... anyway hope to meet you in the near future
-
Hope Paul's foot gets better. And looking forward to meeting sometime. BTW, one of the guys sharing the ribs was from Belgium.
-
Tops has BBQ sauce on clearance again. I believe I bought the last 4 bottles of night of the living bbq, but there might be more. However, the cowtown is still in stock. Also just next to BBQ sauce (across from the meat counter) are more.
-
There is a high probability that I will be cooking ribs next week as I will be baching it (TW going to Temple). Probably on 3 March.
Anyone want an invite?
-
Yeah. Please.
-
Yeah. Please.
Noted, I will give you an invite.
-
If you have room, I like to attend
-
If you have room, I like to attend
Will be glad to have you. Charles went back to the USA yesterday so he won't be there.
-
OK, I have Mike, Steve, Scott, Joe, and Sam wanting to join. Which is about a 5 slabs, the limit of my grill. However, if more want to join, I may make 2 sets.
Also plan to have cheese dip and french fries.
-
Sorry I missed my chance again Keith. I am back at work already so ya'll will just have to have fun without me. happybar
-
That grill at Urleft looks like the high quality BBQ's made by Mr. Doc in Udon. I've yet to see a commercial BBQ wholesale that would meet the quality standards of that BBQ brand.
-
You have an excellent eye, that's exactly what it is.
-
Is that a gas grill or charcoal?
-
In the photo if you look at the far left you can see the gas can.
-
Only asking as I find that a true BBQ, indirect heat from charcoal or wood burning, gives the meat a better flavour.
I guess it's also about preparation and the BBQ sauce.

I actually agree with you and would rather use Charcoal, which is how I did most of my cooking in the USA. But getting good quality charcoal around here is kind of cost prohibitive.
I have been fairly pleased with the performance of Doc's grill, once I learned how best to set the heat. It is looking like I will need to cook more than 5 slabs as I just got 2 more committments, so I am debating whether to fire up the charcoal grill at the same time, kind do a cook off.
BTW, here's Doc's website if you're interested: http://quik-fire.com/
-
Some of the locals in the village where I live make and sell charcoal for a living.
The charcoal sold in sacks that you see by the side of the road are good and cheap. A really good heat is produced.
My oil drum BBQ comes with a lid too so even better.
-
Well I have 8 confirmations.
Planning on having American style cheese dip (with nacho chips), ribs and fries.
I have Leo and Heiniken to drink.
Based on experience I expect the cheese dip (with Salsa, meat, and Jelapeons) to be gone first.
-
I can hand a few more people if there are any last minuters, just had a regular cancel.
They are putting in a medium so you will need to use the main village entrance and then come back a street.
BTW, I have power problems upstairs so we get to try out the almost done kitchen. Just come around back.
And Makro had some good looking ribs:
