📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds / 600 grams pork spareribs
• 2 chopped spring onions (optional (for garnish))
• 1 teaspoon 5-spice powder
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
• 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 2 tablespoons sunflower oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine.
2. 2Using a sharp knife, cut the ribs between the bones into individual pieces.
3. 3Place the ribs into a large baking dish in a single layer, pour over the marinade and turn the ribs so that they are evenly coated.
4. 4Cover the baking dish tightly with a layer of tin foil and bake the ribs in a preheated oven (170C / 340F) for 90 minutes. Turn the ribs after an hour so the top of the ribs doesn't dry out.
5. 5Optionally garnish with chopped spring onions and serve hot either as an appetiser or as a main with Chinese salt and pepper chips or egg-fried rice, and steamed vegetables.
