Sticky Pork Ribs
- 150 grams Tomato Sauce, Divided
- 100 grams Chili Sauce (optional)
- 50 grams Dark Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 2 racks Pork Ribs
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Or Canola Oil
- 1 whole White Onion
- 100 grams Water
- 50 grams Honey Or Syrup
- Note: Marinate pork ribs, ideally overnight, so that marinade has time to get deep into the meat.
- Whenever possible, find time to do this, as flavourwise it really does makes a big difference.
- In a large bowl, add 100 grams (1/2 cup) of the tomato sauce, all of the chili sauce, dark soy sauce, and black pepper.
- Mix well together.
- Add pork ribs to the bowl and make sure they are evenly coated in the marinade.
- Cover bowl with cling film and place in the fridge overnight.
- After ribs have been marinated, remove from the fridge and bring back up to room temperature.
- Place a casserole dish on the hob over medium heat and add oil.
- Slice onion and put into casserole dish and gentle fry onions until they start to soften.
- Take ribs out of the marinade and place on top of onions.
- Pour in water.
- Save marinade left in the bowl.
- Take a piece of grease-proof baking paper large enough to cover the ribs in the dish, so that no steam will escape.
- This is known as a cartouche.
- When liquid comes to the boil, lower heat and leave it alone to simmer for at least 75 minutes.
- After 75 minutes, you should see the pork bone starting to be exposed.
- If not, replace the cartouche and simmer for another 20 minutes or until it looks like the meat has started to shrink off the bone.
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees C (340 degrees F).
- Remove ribs from casserole dish and place onto a baking tray, saving onions for later.
- To the leftover marinade, add remaining 50 grams tomato sauce and honey/syrup.
- Another good splash of soy sauce wouldnt hurt either!
- Mix together and evenly coat ribs with approximately 3/4 of the marinade and place into the oven for about 15 minutes.
- Add remaining marinade and then the onion to the ribs and place back into the oven for another 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately with chips or potato wedges.
