Method

  1. 1

    Toast the peppercorns, star anise and cinnamon in a dry pot over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the stock, garlic, pork ribs and both soy sauces.

  3. 3

    Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook gently for 60–75 minutes until the pork is very tender, skimming occasionally and topping up with water if needed.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust the seasoning, then scatter with spring onion and coriander to serve.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g coriander and 7 spring onions. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
