Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

  • 1 rack Pork spare ribs
  • BBQ rub, to taste
  • 1 handful whole garlic cloves
  • 1 knob ginger
  • 1 stalk green onion
  • Generous amount of honey
  • Vinegar, to taste
  • A little cooking oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. Trim the pork ribs by cutting off the wing part and excess fat from the surface.
  2. Separate the trimmed meat into individual ribs along the bone, then soak in cold water for 1 hour to remove blood and impurities.
  3. Thoroughly pat the soaked ribs dry with a kitchen towel and evenly coat both sides with BBQ rub for seasoning.
  4. Place the seasoned ribs in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 1 hour using only steam to tenderize the meat.
  5. Lightly oil a heated pan and sear the surface of the steamed ribs until golden brown to achieve a Maillard reaction.
  6. In a new pot, add oil and sauté crushed garlic, sliced ginger, and green onion to create an aromatic oil.
  7. Once the aromatic vegetables release their fragrance, add the sauce ingredients, including honey and vinegar, and the seared ribs.
  8. Cover with a lid that fits the pot perfectly and simmer over low heat for 1 hour until the sauce becomes thick and sticky.
  1. Trim pork ribs, soak in water for 1 hour, and season with BBQ rub.
  2. Steam for 1 hour until tender, then sear golden brown on both sides in a pan.
  3. Simmer ribs in sauce made with sautéed garlic, ginger, and green onion, along with honey and vinegar, for 1 hour until sticky.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Boiling the meat in water leaches out delicious flavors; steaming using a steamer is the secret to retaining juices and achieving tender meat.
  • When simmering the sauce, if the lid is missing or too large, moisture will evaporate too quickly, preventing even coating. Use a lid that fits the pot perfectly.
  • Ginger is key to the signature flavor of Gordon Ramsay's meat dishes, so do not omit it. Using store-bought frozen ginger or ginger powder is recommended.
