Barbequed Lemongrass Pork Ribs

This is a family recipe handed down from my mom. It's vietnamese in origin and has a delicious asian flavor. Our whole family loves these ribs and the marinade can be used on other meat like chicken as well. The ingredients sound a bit different but trust that they are delicous!
