Ingredients
- 600g rib rack
- 60g caster sugar
- 4 spring onions
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 thumb ginger
- 1tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 1tbsp Chinkiang black rice vinegar
- 1tbsp sesame oil

- salt to taste
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the ingredients: if using a rib rack, cut these into individual ribs. Slice the ginger piece into two, lengthways (no need to peel). Crush the ginger with a pestle gently- this will help release the flavours later when cooking. Then, finely slice the spring onion. Set aside.
Step 2
Add the ribs to a pan with water, add one of the two ginger pieces, the Shaoxing wine. Add some salt then bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Once the ribs are cooked, take these out and set aside on a plate. Keep 250ml of the water the ribs were cooked in, and dispose of the rest (including the piece of ginger).
Step 4
Next, into a dry frying pan place the sesame seeds and toast these for a few minutes on medium heat into golden. Set aside- you will use these right at the end as a garnish.
Step 5
Season the wok, then add the vegetable oil. Add half of the spring onions and the remaining ginger piece, and fry briefly for a minute or two. Add the ribs and cook for a further minute.
Step 6
Next, add the 250ml of the cooking water, add the sugar and soy sauce and continue to cook on high heat for a further 10-15 minutes until the liquid becomes a glaze. Make sure to coat the ribs in the liquid evenly by stirring frequently.
Step 7
Once the liquid becomes a glaze, add the Chiankiang vinegar, stir well, and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Finally, add the sesame oil, salt to taste, mix well and take of the heat.
Step 8
Finally, add the sesame oil, mix well to ensure the ribs are covered evenly in the glaze and take of the heat. Remove the piece of ginger.
Step 9
The ribs are now ready to serve. Sprinkle over the remaining spring onion and toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!
