These Chinese pork ribs are a speedy family favourite, ideal for a main course. The ribs are first simmered, then coated in a glossy glaze of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and Chinese five-spice powder. They are finished under the grill or on the barbecue until sticky and lightly charred. Ready in about 40 minutes, this dish is a fantastic option for lunch or supper.

Ingredients

12 meaty pork ribs
100ml hoisin sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp clear honey
1 tbsp vinegar (you can use cider, malt or wine)
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder

Method

Place the pork ribs into a large pan and add enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let them simmer for 15 mins. While they cook, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, vinegar and five-spice powder in a jug, stirring well.
Drain the cooked ribs thoroughly. Brush them generously with the prepared glaze. If you plan to barbecue them later, chill the glazed ribs, cover them and store in the fridge.
If you are using the grill, preheat it to high. Cook the ribs on the barbecue or under the grill for 15-20 mins, turning them occasionally, until they become glossy and develop a slight char in spots. Serve immediately while hot.
