Sweet and sticky BBQ ribs
With BBQ season firmly in full swing, School of Wok has decided to share with you the secret recipe for our famous spare ribs - perfect for impressing your friends with this summer.
Ingredients
- 10 spare ribs
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 cube ginger, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons tomato ketchup
- 4 tablespoons hoi sin sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 500ml cider or coke
Method
These ribs never fail to bring in a crowd. They're sweet, sticky and tender, cheap to make and simple to prepare, yet guaranteed to be a showstopper at any dinner party. However, they do require a long, slow cook (4-6 hours ideally) to ensure that the meat is succulent and falling off the bone.
The thing that makes these ribs so special is the added cider or coke, which reduce down significantly during cooking. Using cider will give your sauce a fantastic, tangy, "apple'y" undertone - pork and apples is of course an undeniable match made in heaven! - while coke will result in a sweeter, stickier coating for your ribs.
Either way, they're damn tasty so why not try out both and see which one you like the best!
