Step-by-step
- Peel and chop the garlic, then deseed and chop the bell peppers. Remove some of the fat from the spare ribs, cut into pieces and marinate for 4 hours at room temperature (not too warm a place) with the honey, wine, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and garlic.
- Preheat the oven to 210°C/gas mark 6½. Drain the spare ribs (retain the marinade) and arrange on a grill (broiler) rack set over a roasting tin with a little water in the bottom of the tin.
- Cook in the oven for 40 minutes, turning them from time to time so that they brown evenly. Drain on a plate.
- Heat the oil in a wok and fry the peppers for 1 minute. Add the spare ribs and marinade, then let them caramelize and the sauce thicken for 5–8 minutes over a high heat. Serve the spare ribs with white rice.
