Chilli Spare Ribs

Serves 4


Ingredients:

750g pork spare ribs
1 tbsp peanut oil
2 tsp finely chopped garlic
¼ cup (60ml) dry sherry
1 tbsp chilli bean paste or sambal oelek
2 cup (500ml) water
2 tsp hoisin sauce
3 tsp caster sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce, preferably dark


Method:

• Place the pork in a large pan with water to cover. Bring to the boil, reduce heat, simmer for 5 minutes; drain well.


• Place all the remaining ingredients and the pork ribs in a wok or deep, heavy-based pan. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup (250ml) of liquid. Heat a clean wok or heavy-based frying pan and sear the pork pieces to brown them.


• Add the reserved cooking liquid and cook over medium heat until it forms a glazed coating for the pork.


• Chop the pork pieces into 3cm pieces and serve with the sauce poured over them.
