Ingredients

  • 150ml/5fl oz light soy sauce
  • 2.5cm/1in piece of fresh root ginger, grated
  • 3 teaspoons five-spice powder
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon dried red chilli flakes
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 125ml/4fl oz sunflower oil
  • 1kg/2 1⁄4lb pork spare ribs, chopped into 5cm/2in pieces
  • 3 1⁄2 tablespoons clear honey
  • 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.
