Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 65 minutes

Total Time: 90 minutes

Yield: 4 people

Ingredients:

• 3 lb yellow tail
• 4 lb baby back ribs
• 8 sliced pieces galangal
• 1 garlic
• 4 Tbsp sugar
• 4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 4 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 Tbsp fish sauce
• 1 gal water
• 1/4 red bell pepper

 

 

Steps:

1. The market offers complimentary cleaning and slicing of the fish. When I go home, I quickly clean once again with salt. Pat dry and put in a bowl. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and set aside.

 
2. Open the baby back ribs packaging, clean with water and cut into 3 portions. Turn the rib around and cut the membrane out and any other fat that may be there.
