Thai cuisine: pork rib soup, the recipe.
A few days ago I also went to eat at my Thai friend Sao's house and, together with her, we prepared an excellent Thai dish. As a side dish there was also a nice salad typical of her country, the som tam, (but I will write a separate article about it when I find the inspiration) some fried anchovies (maybe these more typical of our Riviera) and rice.
We had a delicious lunch on a cold winter day.

Ingredients

– 250 grams of pork ribs (preferably from a young specimen);
– 2 cloves of garlic;
– 1 red onion;
– 6 fresh chillies;
– 2 lemongrass plants cut into pieces;
– 3 lemon leaves;
– Olive oil
– Spices: salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, prawn paste (pictured), fish sauce, pepper.

As always, some ingredients are a little difficult to find. I sometimes go to Genoa where there are more shops where I can find many interesting things that in my town they just don't know.

Preparation

First, let's start cooking the rice in the appropriate kettle.

Then we prepare the spices: put the garlic, red onion, fresh chili pepper and lemongrass in a blender and chop finely. Then put the mixture in a saucepan and fry with olive oil until fragrant, add about 1.5 liters of water.
Add the cleaned ribs and other seasonings: 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon MSG, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon shrimp paste, add lemon leaves.
Cook until the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and cook for another 15 minutes until the meat is tender, then add 2 tablespoons fish sauce and pepper to taste.

The preparation of young pork ribs (spicy) is very similar to Thai chicken curry (which I told you about here) but differs in some spices. Most Thai dishes are cooked spicy and fragrant with shrimp paste (pictured) and the aroma of lemon leaves and lemongrass.
If you eat it a couple of times you become addicted to Thai food very easily!
