Main

1.Preheat oven to 160C. Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add shallot, garlic and chilli and fry, stirring occasionally, until tender and shallot is translucent (4-5 minutes). Add stock, fish sauce, palm sugar, lime leaves, herbs, shiitakes and 600ml coconut milk and simmer for flavours to infuse (6-8 minutes).
2.Heat remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add ribs and brown well all over (2-3 minutes). Transfer to a roasting pan to fit snugly in a single layer. Add coconut milk mixture, cover with foil and braise in oven until meat falls from the bone (3½-4 hours). Stir in enoki and lime juice; adjust seasoning with lime juice, fish sauce and palm sugar for a sour, salty, sweet balance.
3.Meanwhile, combine rice in a saucepan with remaining coconut milk, 50ml cold water and 1 tsp sea salt. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low and cook until rice is tender and liquid absorbed (25-30 minutes). Remove from heat and stand covered to steam for 10 minutes. Serve with ribs and braising liquid, scattered with coriander, fried shallots and chilli.
