Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ribs: Remove the silver membrane from the back of the ribs and pat dry. Cut into manageable portions if desired.
  2. Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, combine curry paste, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Marinate the Ribs: Coat the ribs with two-thirds of the marinade, seal in a container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Slow-Bake the Ribs: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with foil, place ribs on top, cover with foil, and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours.
  5. Reduce Marinade for Glaze: Simmer the reserved marinade in a saucepan, whisk in cornstarch if desired, and cook until thickened.
  6. Broil for Caramelization: Brush reduced glaze on ribs and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until caramelized.
  7. Rest, Slice & Serve: Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes, slice, and serve with garnishes.
