I absolutely love these babies especially to serve as a starter/nibble with mocktails/ other drinks. There is nothing exciting than getting your guests' finger dirty making them feel at home ( Avoid if you have fussy guests, I know I have potential ones). I made them last over new year and they vanished in minutes. Felt like the washing powder advert - dhoondte reh jaoge!!!!!
A few things before we start:
- Have your butcher separate the spareribs into individual ribs and then into chunks which are approximately 7.5cm/3in long.
- Recipe calls for peanut oil. I didn't have some, so used regular vegetable oil and it worked fine.
- For the marinade please use sesame oil, it does make a difference.
- I use natural soya sauce for all my cooking like kikkoman, since they are safer if you are serving for kids.
- The last step can be done in a slow cooker, obviously over a longer period of time. I feel, doing this gives me time to prepare my main,s when I have guests coming home, and I can serve these ribs as nibbles with cocktails or other drinks hot from the slow cooker.
- When cooking over hob, if the sauce dries up, add a few tsps of warm water to keep the ribs moist.
