Toyomansi Pork Spareribs with Calamansi Banana Ketchup Glaze

Toyomansi Pork Spareribs with Calamansi Banana Ketchup Glaze

Toyomansi Pork Spareribs with Calamansi Banana Ketchup Glaze

Seriously, one of the best rib recipes I’ve ever made. I’ve been obsessed with toyomansi marinade for a couple of weeks now. I was thinking to myself that this would be amazing on ribs with the calamansi/banana ketchup glaze that I put on some chicken thighs. Was I right.
I am always partial to spare ribs over baby back ribs, but both will turn out delicious whichever ones you choose. Cook baby backs for 2 hours instead of 2.5 hours before you broil them. These ribs are also great on the grill. Cook them indirectly first, wrapped in foil. Take them out of the foil when you are ready to char them, cooking directly over the flames. Then move them back to the side cooking indirectly. Brush on several layers of the glaze every 10 minutes.

Coconut Milk BBQ Chicken

Coconut Milk BBQ Chicken

Coconut Milk BBQ Chicken

This recipe is something else. While there are quite a lot of steps to make the bbq chicken, it is worth it in the end. That I can guarantee. The marinade is pretty much a red curry without lemongrass, galangal, and fish sauce. I then marinated bone in skinless thighs overnight with half of this curry marinade. Then I roasted the chicken for a half hour. Every 10 minutes for the next 30 minutes, I brush on layers of the other half of the marinade. This creates a thick kinda crust over the chicken, sealing in the juices of the chicken thighs.
Chicken thighs work best for this recipe. The are more moist than the other parts on the chicken, allowing it to still be juicy after cooking them for an hour. This marinade is great if you want to have chicken skewers. Marinate boneless skinless breasts or thighs overnight in the marinade. Skewer up the chicken the next day. Broil or grill the skewers for 2 minutes a side. Then brush on multiple layers of the other half of the marinade, flipping every minute or so brushing on another layer, until both sides have had 3 coatings.
This red curry marinade also works great with pork, salmon, catfish, and shrimp.

Toyomansi Shrimp Skewers with Calamansi/Banana Ketchup Glaze

This is another simple shrimp skewer recipe; this time marinating the shrimp in a toyomansi marinade and glazing the skewers in a calamansi/banana ketchup glaze. Make sure to marinate your shrimp for no more than 15 minutes or the acidity of the calamansi will cook the shrimp. We’re not trying to make ceviche. You can use any size shrimp that you want. I recommend using bigger shrimp since they will take a little longer to cook and we’re looking to get a couple layers of glaze on the shrimp. If you use smaller shrimp, you will risk over cooking them and you won’t be able to get a thick glazing upon them.
