with boiled chat potatoes and a bok choy and snow pea side dish.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 2 to 3)

1kg American Style Pork Ribs
2/3 Cup Tomato Paste
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar 
1/3 Cup Worchestershire Sauce
1 1/2 Tsps Chilli Powder (or cayenne pepper)
1 1/2 Tsps Hungarian Paprika (or sweet paprika) 
2 Garlic Cloves, crushed

To Serve
700g Chat Potatoes, boiled

1 Tbsp Peanut Oil

2 Garlic Cloves, finely minced

1 Tsp Ginger, grated

3 Bok Choy bundles, base cut and leaves separated

200g Snow Peas

1/2 Tsp Sesame Oil

Sesame Seeds, to sprinkle

METHOD

Cut each rack of ribs in half. Combine tomato paste, sugar, worchestershire, chilli, paprika and garlic in a large bowl. Add ribs. Toss to coat. Cover, and place in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 2 hours. (Overnight is ideal)

Preheat the oven for 200 C. Line 2 large baking tray with baking paper. Arrange ribs in a single layer on baking tray, reserving any remaining marinade.

Bake for 45 minutes. Basting with reserved marinade halfway through cooking, or until glazed and tender.

Remove ribs from oven. Serve with boiled chat potatoes and the below bok choy & snow pea side dish.


For Bok Choy & Snow Pea Side Dish

Add the oil, garlic and ginger into a wok or large saute pan. Turn the heat to medium-high. As the oil heats, the garlic and ginger will infuse the oil with flavor. Take care that they do not burn.

When the oil is hot, add the bok choy and the snow peas and toss to coat them in the oil.

Stir-fry the mixture for about 3 minutes, until the bok choy stems are crisp-tender.

Remove from heat and place into a serving bowl.

Drizzle the sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
