Cook time: 15 mins

Ingredients

1 Kg chopped pork ribs

3 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp aged red wine vinegar

1 Tbsp Japanese soy sauce

1 Tbsp Chinese five spice powder

1 Tbsp ground white pepper

1 Teaspoon salt

1 Spring onion ( diced )

4 Slices of ginger

Hot water

Method

1. Make the caramel ( Pour the olive oil and sugar in a hot pan) 
2. Once the caramel is done, put the pork ribs in when the caramel is still warm, toss it till every piece cover with the caramel, (make sure turn the heat off at this stage, cause the caramel is too easy to burn.)
3. Wait till the pan gets cold, turn the heat back on and put rest of the ingredients in the pan. 
4. Pour the hot water until it covers the ribs, let it to absorb the flavour. 
5. Turn the heat to the lowest power, cover the pan with a lid for 10 mins, make sure the sauce won't dry out.
6. Turn off the heat till there is 4 Tbsp extracted juicy left, then toss the ribs again.
7. Garnish the finish with the fine chopped spring onion leaves
