How To Make Sticky Pork Spare Ribs

Step 2: Boil the ribs

Put the ribs and ginger into the pot and pour over enough water to cover. Turn to a high heat and boil. Once boiling, skim off the scum from the top. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Drain the ribs

Using a slotted spoon, remove the ribs from the pan. Put them on to a plate covered with kitchen roll and drain.

Step 4: Brown the ribs

Place the frying pan over a high heat and add the oil. When hot, add half of the ribs. Allow to brown for approximately 1 minute on each side. Repeat the process with the other half of the ribs.

Transfer to a plate covered with kitchen roll.

Step 5: Add ingredients

To a clean frying pan, add the bbq sauce, chilli sauce, soy sauce, sherry, sugar, honey, garlic, grated ginger and the 5 spice mix. Stir well and bring to the boil.

Add the ribs and stir again, turning the ribs to coat them in the juice. Cook for 5 minutes until the majority of sauce has been absorbed, but don't allow it to completely dry out.

Step 6: Finishing touches

Transfer to a large serving plate, spoon the remaining sauce over the ribs, sprinkle on the spring onions.

Step 7: Serve

Serve hot with some white fluffy rice. Enjoy!
