Siba Mtongana’s sweet sticky ribs

Why go out when you can make your own restaurant worthy ribs.

INGREDIENTS

1,5 kg pork ribs, rinsed and dried

Marinade
1/2 cup soy sauce

2/3 cup honey

1/4 cup soft brown sugar

3 cm piece ginger, unpeeled and sliced

4 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp ground cumin

1 red chilli, deseeded, deveined and chopped

water, to cover

Garnish:
Red chilli flakes & sliced spring onions

METHOD

1. Place the ribs in a large pot and add the rest of the ingredients and enough water to cover.
2. Bring to the boil and cook for 30-40 minutes until cooked and the marinade has significantly reduced.
3. Preheat the oven to 230° C or grill.
4. Remove the ribs from the pan and place on a wooden board and cut into riblets.
5. Place in a baking tray and baste with the thickened marinade. Grill in the oven for 5 minutes, on the top rack, keeping a close watch over it, turning them if necessary. As the marinade has sugar in it, watch them in the oven as they can burn quickly – you can open the oven door slightly to stop from burning.
6. Remove to a platter and scatter with red chilli flakes and sliced spring onions.
