A sticky situation: Tender pork ribs, glazed to perfection

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200C fan-forced (220C conventional) and line a large baking dish with foil.

  • Step 2

    Combine the tonkatsu, mirin, ginger liquid and garlic in a small bowl. Add the pork to the baking dish and pour over the marinade and 1 cup of water. Toss the ribs to coat in the marinade, then cover the baking dish tightly with foil.

  • Step 3

    Roast for 20 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove the foil, and roast for another 10 minutes, or until the ribs are tender and the marinade is caramelised and sticky.

  • Step 4

    Meanwhile, cook the noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes or until tender. Drain and refresh in cold water.

  • Step 5

    Place the shredded cabbage in a bowl and toss with a little of the marinade from the baking tray. Serve the pork ribs with the noodles, cabbage, Asian salad mix, pickled ginger, a drizzle of the braising liquid, and a sprinkle of shichimi togarashi.
