I like to use these riblettes, the stores here will cut spare ribs about 1 inch thick, so it makes it easy. But you can use ribs also. Just separate them do the marinade can cover them. This has a herby, tangy flavor. If you want to use a dipping sauce, go for it, a nice dumpling dipping sauce compliments these nicely.
If you want some more heat, some hot peppers in the marinade works also.

Steps

30 mins

1

I cut my short ribs into individual pieces with one bone per piece.
2

Just put them all in a bowl large enough to mix them all
3

Take some fresh basil, I am using Thai basil here
4

Some green onions
5

Some fresh mint
6

And fresh oregano, this is not a typical Vietnamese herb, but I have some growing, so I used it.
7

I just rough chop it all put all the marinade ingredients in a blender, and blend it up
8

Pour the marinade in the meat, mix it all up. I just use my hands.
9

Put it all in a container. I like to let it set overnight. Is there a minimum, I don't know for sure, I always make this a day ahead.
10

Preheat oven to 400F
11

Heat about 3/4 cup of water in a pan to boil. Carefully place your ribs into the water, bring back to a boil, about 8 minutes. This will render some of the fat, set the marinade and rinse some off. The marinade will burn in the oven, so having it fully flavored and fat reduced is a good thing.
12

Pull each out leaving as much marinade behind as possible. I just put them on a foil lined sheet pan.
13

Bake 20-30 minutes until done to your liking. These were 30 minutes.
14

Serve

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
