Cooking Lab - Marinated Pork Spareribs with Thai Vegetable Stir-fry

We all love juicy marinated pork spareribs. They just make cold winter nights jolly. 

Different healthy vegetables are served with the marinated pork which makes this a delicious and a fairly healthy meal to serve with rice or noodles.

The colors of the dish are gorgeous with these Thai vegetables. The marinated pork spareribs are deep-fried to crisp but the meat is still juicy inside. They taste very flavoursome and moreish. 


These are finger-licking good!~
