Ingredients

Star anise and honey soy sauce
Konbu pickles

Method

Main

1.For konbu pickles, combine all ingredients except vegetables, and ¼ cup sea salt in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil. Cool. Add vegetables and refrigerate overnight.
2.Combine ribs and 1 tbsp salt in a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove, rinse, drain and pat dry with absorbent paper.
3.Preheat oven to 160C. Place ribs in a large roasting pan with oil, ginger, garlic, bay leaves and cloves. Roast for 1½ hours or until tender. Remove from oven and cool ribs in oil. Remove ribs, drain well, discarding oil, and pat dry with absorbent paper to absorb oil.
4.For star anise and honey soy sauce, combine all ingredients. Makes 3 cups. Combine ribs and sauce and marinate for 2-3 hours. Remove half the ribs from sauce and transfer to a frying pan over medium heat, add ½ cup sauce and cook for 5 minutes, turning frequently, or until sauce caramelises and ribs are warmed through. Repeat with remaining ribs. Serve immediately with konbu pickles to the side.

Note Ask your butcher to cut spareribs in half crossways for you.
