Sticky Pork Ribs

This recipe is from my new favourite cooking show, Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course. I love how chef Gordon would teach not only simple, easy to follow recipes, but also give useful tips around the kitchen. This recipe is from episode 7, based on what I scribbled down while watching.


Like I said, this is based on what I scibbled down while watching, so it may not be 100% accurate. Besides, I didn't have some of the ingredients, so I substituted accordingly. But the end result was AWESOME! My hubby loved it, so this is definitely one of those dishes that I will make again. It's a little peppery, so my baby girl can't eat it, but adults will love it!

  1. Salt and pepper prime ribs
  2. Brown ribs in baking tray over stove top
  3. Add:
    • a few thinly sliced ginger and whole garlic cloves
    • a few star anise, szechuan pepper corns and a sprinkle of chilli flakes
    • about 3 tablespoons of honey, soya sauce, a splash of japanese vinegar (I used balsamic vinegar), and enough chicken stock to just cover the ribs
    • diced spring onions, a good splash of rice wine
  4. Roast in oven 180 celcius for 30mins, turn ribs and roast another 30mins
  5. Reduce remaining sauce over stove top until sticky, flipping ribs occasionally
