Ingredients

• 750 g pork spareribs
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 2 teaspoons gingerroot, shredded
• 2 teaspoons garlic, crushed
• 2 small onions, finely diced
• 3 tablespoons dry sherry
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon cornflour

Instructions

1. Blanch ribs in boiling water for two minutes.

2. Mix soy sauce, water, sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic and diced onion in a small bowl.

3. Place ribs into a lightly oiled baking tray to avoid a mess on your BBQ and pour over the sauce mixture. The tray is also necessary so the sauce can be reserved.

4. Cook for 20 minutes over a low heat with the hood of the BBQ closed.

5. Add the sherry and season with pepper, stir to mix and turn over the ribs.

6. Continue cooking over low temperature with hood down for another 40 minutes, stirring and turning ribs several times.

7. Turn the grill section of the BBQ to high and transfer the ribs to the grill. Cook around 5 minutes a side until they are crisp and well browned.

8. Blend chicken stock and cornflour together.

9. While ribs are grilling add chicken stock and cornflour to sauce mixture, increase temperature and stir until sauce has thickened.

10. Serve over boiled rice with sauce poured over top of ribs.
