Aromatic Pork Spare Ribs

Rack of pork ribs, separated
1 tablespoon of corn oil
I onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger
1 cup dark soy sauce
Splash of cider vinegar
1 cup dry sherry or rice wine
4 or 5 stars of star anise
1 chopped red chili pepper (optional but recommended - habaneros are best)
2 tablespoons of dark muscovado sugar
1 tablespoon of good honey
1 carrot roughly chopped
1 stick of celery, chopped

Separate and chill the ribs
Heat the oil in a large saucepan
Add the onion and fry, stirring until soft
Add the garlic and ginger and stir until you get a characteristic "sweet" aroma
Add all remaining ingredients except the ribs and bring to a rolling boil
Add the ribs and reduce to simmer for 1 hour
Turn off the heat and cool the entire pan quickly
Keep chilled for at least 12 hours (they're worth it!).
Skim off any fat from the pan.

Barbecue grill, broil or oven bake the ribs thoroughly, there will be some caramelisation but this is desirable.

Liquor may be retained and frozen and re-used.

For sticky ribs:
Thicken a little of the liquor with cornflour (cornstarch) and brush over the ribs several times during grilling. This also makes a good sauce.
