Ingredients

• 1-1.3kg American Style Pork Ribs
• 210ml Honey Soy Marinade
• ½ Shallots Bunch
• 1 Gai Lan Bunch
• 2 Cups Jasmine Rice
• ½ Lemon
• Cooking Oil
• Sesame Seeds, optional
• Chilli, optional

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160°C.
   
   
2. Place the ribs on a lined baking tray.  Add the honey soy marinade.  Fill the marinade jar half way with water, rinse, and pour over.  Rub all over the ribs, cover with foil, and place in the oven for 2½ hours.
   
   
3. Meanwhile, remove the roots from the shallots, then cut them into 5cm pieces.  Finely slice the green tips for garnishing.  Cut the Gai Lan into 3 equal pieces.  Set aside.
   
   
4. Cook the rice according to packet instructions, keep warm, and set aside.
   
   
5. Remove the ribs from the oven.  Increase the heat to 200°C.  Uncover and baste with the marinade from the tray.  Return to the oven, uncovered, for 15 minutes.  Flip the ribs, baste with the marinade, and cook for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown and caramelised.
   
   
6. In a medium-sized pot, bring salted water to a boil. 
   
   
7. In a hot frying pan over high heat, drizzle a little oil and sauté the shallots for 3 minutes until softened and vibrant.
   
   
8. Cook the Gai Lan in the boiling water for 3 minutes.  Drain well and set aside.
   
   
9. Remove the ribs from the oven.  Squeeze the juice of ½ a lemon over the ribs.  Add the Gai Lan and shallots to the tray and toss with the glaze.
   
   
10. Serve honey soy pork ribs with rice, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, sliced shallots, and fresh chilli.
