Method

1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic and ginger and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent, stirring often.
2. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. In a large bowl, mix half of the basting sauce with the ribs, making sure they are all covered. Leave to marinate for a few hours or overnight.
4. Preheat the oven to 150°C and place ribs in a large roasting dish. Pour over remaining sauce to cover ribs evenly. Cover with tin foil and cook for 2 hours, turning and basting the ribs every 20-30 minutes.
5. Increase oven temperature to 200°C, remove foil and drizzle with extra measure of honey. Cook for a further 10-15 minutes, watching the ribs carefully so they don’t catch or burn.
