INGREDIENTS

2 to 2-1/2 pounds American Lamb ribs

Salt and black pepper as needed

Ground coriander as needed

Moxie® Glaze:

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup Moxie® soda (or other cola or root beer)

1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons sake or rice wine

1 teaspoon fish sauce

2 cups rice flour or corn starch

vegetable oil as needed

1/2 cup mint leaves

1/2 cup Thai basil leaves

1/2 cup cilantro leaves

1/2 cup fried shallots









DIRECTIONS

METHOD:

For the ribs:  Season both sides of ribs with salt, pepper and coriander.  Line a roasting pan or large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and add the ribs meat-side up. Cover tightly with foil, crimping edges to make a tight seal.  Bake at 275°F until the meat is very tender but still attached to the bone, about 3 hours. Allow to cool to room temperature.

For the Moxie® Glaze:  In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, soda, sugar, sake and fish sauce and bring to a boil, stirring often.  Once boiling reduce heat and simmer until thickened to a glaze, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.

To finish:  Cut the rack of ribs between each bone into individual ribs. In a bowl, toss ribs with flour until coated; shake off excess. Fill a skillet with 1/2 inch of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry ribs in batches, turning after 1 to 2 minutes. Cook until 

crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. In a separate bowl, toss fried ribs in Moxie® Glaze to coat evenly. Transfer to a plate; garnish with mint, basil, cilantro and shallots.
