This is one of my many favourites. In fact, my kids and friends too. This is like 'char siew' (sweet roasted lean meat). Maybe if you use lean meat, it will look more like 'char siew'. I prefer to use ribs ... because I like to eat with my hands. :P Yeah! Hold the rib by the bone and clean the meat off. It's especially nice with a little fat on the meat. ;)
You can leave the garlic if you don't like it but me and the kids love garlic. Did I say my daughter loves to eat fried (minced) garlic on its own? ;)
Ingredients:- 500g Ribs
- 3 tablespoon Minced Garlic (optional)
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cooking Wine
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 500ml Chicken Broth
- 1 tablespoon Honey
How to do it:
- Blanch the ribs.
- In a new pot, add ribs and all the other ingredients except honey.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low fire and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes, till the ribs are tender.
- Remove the ribs and place on foil and retain the sauce.
- Add honey to the sauce to be used for basting.
- Bast ribs with sauce and roast in oven at 170C for 10 minutes.
- Repeat for a few times or till ribs are brown.
Note:
If you don't have an oven, you can shallow fry the ribs till brown. Bring the sauce with the honey to a boil and then coat the ribs evenly with it.
