Ingredients
1kg baby back pork ribs (beef ribs can also be used with a longer cooking time), separated into individual pieces
1 tsp Herbie’s Chinese Five Spice or Ground Star Anise
2 tbsp soy sauce
60ml vegetable oil
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
100g brown sugar
100ml water
100ml dark soy sauce
Instructions
- Coat ribs in Chinese Five Spice and 2 tablespoons soy sauce (leave overnight to marinate if desired).
- Combine ginger, sugar, water and dark soy sauce in a large casserole and heat gently on the stovetop, and stir until sugar has dissolved. Pre-heat oven to 120C.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and sear ribs for 2 minutes each side, then place in the casserole dish. Stir to combine and top up with water to ensure ribs are just covered. Place a lid on the casserole and cook in the low oven for 1-1 1/2 hours until meat is shrinking off the bone.
- Remove lid and place back on stovetop, bringing to the boil to reduce liquid. Stir while boiling, and turn off heat when a sticky sauce is left coating the ribs generously.
- Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped chives.
