Honey Oyster Pork Ribs

Although I have just few friends here in Perth, they’ve been a great motivation and support for me to stay here being away from my family. Most of my friends are older than me, (5 ~ 20 years older) but we’re close and are good friends. Because they have more life experience than I do, their words and advices are such valuable and I really appreciate that.

Some of them have their own business here, and some of them have bought their own home and settled themselves in this state. They all work so hard and I want to be same as them! And, I have a few friends who are mothers and they also give me a good advice on cooking too 🙂

I’ve got this recipe from one of my friends who has moved from Cairns to Perth 2 years ago and is a mother of 1 year old boy. I love this recipe and so does my family here 🙂

500 g pork ribs – boned
1 tbs oyster sauce
2 tbs honey
2 tbs soy sauce

I used cabbage and bean shoots. You can use whatever vegetables you have in your fridge.

cabbage – roughly chopped
bean shoots
1 tbs sesame oil
1 tsp soy sauce

Cut ribs into 2~3 cm thick.
Heat frying pan without oil, and grill ribs over medium heat until it’s golden on both sides. The idea of doing this is to take away unwanted fat from pork as much as possible.
Remove ribs from pan, and set aside. Throw out the fat from pork.
Wipe the pan with kitchen paper roughly, and heat sesame oil. Stir-fry cabbage and bean shoots until they’re soft. Drizzle soy sauce and turn off the heat.
In another pan, place oyster sauce, soy sauce and honey. Turn on the heat, stir consistently until it starts to boil. Add ribs and stir, until ribs are caramelized and sticky.
Arrange ribs on a bed of stir-fried vegetables.
