Method
- Whisk together the ingredients for the marinade until smooth and use it to coat the pork spare ribs. Cover and leave to marinate for 30 mins.
- After marinating, heat the groundnut oil in a large wok over a moderate heat until hot. Stir-fry the pork ribs for 1 min, then remove from the wok and dry on kitchen paper. Add the spring onions, onion, garlic, red chilli and peppers to the wok, stir-frying for 2-3 mins.
- Add the ribs back to the wok, then stir in the oyster sauce and water. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover the wok, and gently simmer the ribs for 12-15 mins, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and arrange on a long platter. Serve immediately.
