Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 1 hr 15 mins + 1 hr to marinate

Ingredients

SAUCE
60ml (¼ cup) soya sauce
100ml oyster sauce
45ml (3 tbsp) water
5ml (1 tsp) dried red chilli flakes
5cm fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, grated
2,5ml (½ tsp) ground turmeric
5ml (1 tsp) ground cumin
45ml (3 tbsp) brown sugar
30ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
600g pork spare ribs
TO SERVE
spring onions, chopped
steamed white rice
lime wedges
fresh red chilli, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add the ribs to the mixture, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Place the ribs and all of the sauce in a large baking dish and cover with foil. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes, lower the temperature to 180°C and roast for a further 50 minutes.

Remove the foil from the ribs for the final 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and caramelise.

Remove the ribs from the oven and rest for 10 minutes before cutting.

Serve with plenty of spring onion, steamed white rice, fresh coriander and red chilli.
