INGREDIENTS

750 gm pork ribs

Marinade ingredients:
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tsp dark soya sauce
1/2 tsp five-spice powder
1 cube of red fermented chilli bean curd
1 tbsp honey
3 tbsp sugar
Dash of white pepper
1 tbsp cooking wine (I didn't add this)
2 tbsp of oil
Thickener: 2 tbsp cornflour mixed in 2 tbsp of water

METHOD

1. Add all ingredients into the pork ribs. Massage well and marinate the pork ribs for at least 2 hours (best overnight).

2. Heat 2 tbsp of oil and add the marinated pork ribs. Fry till brown.

3. Add the remaining marinade and bring it to the boil. Simmer till the ribs become tender. I used my slow cooker and set it at high for 2 hours.

4. Pick out the pork ribs and drizzle with a little oil. Place them in a pre-heated air fryer. Air- fry at 200°C for 5 minutes till golden.

5. In the meanwhile, heat the remaining sauce in the pot and thicken with cornflour solution.

6. Remove the air-fried pork ribs to a serving plate. Drizzle char siew sauce on top just before serving. 🤤 😋
