Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, ginger, five-spice powder, chilli flakes, garlic and 3 1⁄2 tablespoons of the sunflower oil. Add the pork and toss to coat.
Cover the top with cling film, and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, shaking occasionally.
Drain the pork through a colander into a saucepan. Put a heavy frying pan with the remaining sunflower oil over a medium heat. When very hot, add the ribs a few at a time and sear, transferring to the saucepan with the marinade when browned. Bring the contents of the saucepan to the boil, reduce the heat and cover with a lid. Simmer gently for 30–45 minutes until the meat is tender.
Remove the lid and stir in the honey. Increase the heat and reduce the sauce, tossing and stirring until the water content has evaporated and the ribs are covered with a rich glaze. Serve warm.
