Southern Thai curry with spare ribs - Gaeng Khua Prik Si Khrong Moo
The "Gaeng Khua Prik Si Khrong Moo" (แกงคั่วพริกซี่โครงหมู) is a spicy to very hot curry with spare ribs from Southern Thailand, which I recently tried and found very tasty.
The amount of curry paste you use is up to you, allowing you to control the spiciness. I recommend starting with a tablespoon or less.
