    Ingredients

    1tbsp clear honey

    2tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce

    2tbsp rice wine or dry sherry

    2tbsp hoisin sauce

    1tsp sesame oil

    2cm piece ginger (finely chopped)

    2 cloves garlic, crushed

    1tsp five spice powder

    ½tsp red food colouring (optional)

    2 x 500g packs Butcher’s Selection British Pork Rib Rack (patted dry)

    8 spring onions

    1tsp rapeseed oil

    Sliced red chilli

    Coriander leaves

    Spring onions (shredded)

    Method

    1
    To make the marinade, mix together the honey, soy sauce, rice wine, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, five spice and red food colouring, if using.
    2
    Put the pork ribs in a shallow dish and pour over the marinade. Cover and chill for at lease 1 hr, ideally overnight.
    3
    Preheat the oven to 180C/160 Fan/Gas 4. Transfer the ribs from the fridge to an oven dish, reserving any excess marinade. Cover tightly with foil and cook for 1 hr until tender.
    4
    Meanwhile, to make the glaze, put the reserved marinade in a small pan, stir well and bring to the boil. Allow to simmer until reduced and sticky.
    5
    When the ribs are cooked, increase the temperature to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Remove any liquid from the dish and brush the ribs with the glaze. Return to the oven, uncovered, and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning and basting occasionally with the glaze, until sticky and just starting to char.
    6
    While the ribs are cooking, preheat a griddle pan to high and toss the spring onions in the oil. Cook for 3-4 mins, turning occasionally until the onions are tender and have grill marks on them.
    7
    Serve the ribs and spring onions immediately, garnished with red chilli, coriander and shredded spring onion.
