Mix 7.5 tablespoons of garlic paste, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in a bowl.

Add 8 cilantro stems and leaves and 2 chopped green onions to the marinade and mix well.

Lightly coat the pork spare ribs with Sofa King Awesome Barbecue Thai Dragon powder.

Put the ribs in a 2-gallon Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.

Seal the bag and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, flipping occasionally.

Preheat the smoker to 275°F.

Place the marinated ribs on the smoker and cook for 3 hours without wrapping them.

Check the ribs after 3 hours for color and caramelization, then continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of 200-203°F, which may take an additional 1-2 hours.

Once cooked, remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 30 minutes before serving.

Brush the ribs with a sauce made from fish sauce, lime juice, chili flakes, green onion, and hot honey before serving.
