Honey Sesame Pork Ribs

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup ketjap manis (a thick sweet soy sauce)
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 star anise
• 1 tablespoon sesame seed, toasted
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• 4 pork spare rib racks (1.5kg)

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 140-160 degrees C.
