KETJAP MANIS SPICED RIBS RECIPE (serves 2-3)

INGREDIENTS

• 1kg pork rib, cleaned
• 4 medium cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• ½ cup Indomex Ketjap Manis
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Indomex Sesame Oil
• 1 teaspoon Indomex Chinese 5-spice powder
• 1 cayenne or birds eye chilli, finely diced (optional)
• ½ cup water

To Serve

Crunchy home-made Vegetable Pickle or Asian Slaw

METHOD

1. Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and pour over the pork ribs ensuring meat is well coated
2. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4-hours (preferably overnight)
3. Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees Celsius
4. Place pork ribs coated in marinade into a roasting pan and cover loosely with baking paper
5. Pop into oven for 60 minutes, turning every 15-20 minutes to baste ribs
6. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly in marinade (should now be nice and sticky with ribs cooked through and tender but still pale) (don’t overcook)
7. Now for the smoky flavour that we all love – finish off the ribs over a coal or wood fire (a braai as it is known in SA), basting and turning ribs to ensure evenly browned, slightly crispy and nice and sticky
8. Remove from the fire and enjoy
