fresh coriander to garnish

Procedure:

1. Using a sharp knife, trim the ribs of excess fat and make longitudinal cuts around the bone to obtain individual ribs, then chop each rib into 3-4 more pieces, place them in a baking dish
2. Mix the sugar, both soy sauces, wine and hoi-sin sauce and pour this mixture over the ribs, turn the ribs several times to coat them well and leave them to marinate for 3 hours
3. Pour in water or stock and bake the ribs for 15-20 minutes in a well preheated oven at about 200 °C
4. Then turn the ribs over, reduce the temperature to 170 °C and bake for a further 35-40 minutes
5. Place the ribs on a plate, pour the sauce from the roasting tin over them, garnish with coriander leaves and serve with the chilli sauce, which is served in a separate dish in which the ribs are dipped when eaten.

Recommendation:

– The chilli sauce need not be too hot. There is already a wide variety of sauces on the market, especially Asian sauces.- Serve Cantonese ribs with fresh bread.

Note:

Hoi-sin sauce: also called “Beijing sauce”, it is a thick, reddish-brown coloured, sweet and strongly aromatic liquid condiment. It can be found not only in Asian grocery stores, but it is also available in all supermarkets here.
