Ingredients

800 g pork ribs, cut into 2 cm lengths
10 g cornflour
½ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT
2 tbsp rice bran oil
2 spring onions, 2 cm lengths, white & greens separated
40 ml light soy sauce
50 g rock sugar
50 g white sugar
120 ml malt vinegar

Directions

Boil the ribs for 5 minutes then rinse in cold water and drain.
Toss the ribs with a light sprinkle of SIDS CRAZY SALT and the cornflour.
Heat the oil in a wok or pot and fry the ribs until the surface is golden brown.
Add the white parts of the spring onions and fry for a few seconds, then add the soy sauce, sugar and vinegar then cook for a few minutes.
Pour in enough water to completely cover the ribs, bring to the boil then braise over a medium heat until the ribs are tender (approximately 25 minutes).
Increase the heat to high and reduce the sauce until it becomes syrupy. If the bubbles in the syrup start to get slow and big then it’s time to stop, so that it doesn’t burn.
Stir in the green spring onions to finish the dish.
