Ingredients

  • INGREDIENTS
  • For the marinade:
  • • 1.2kg lamb riblets
  • • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • • 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
  • • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • • salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the sticky sauce:
  • • 1 cup soy sauce
  • • 1 cup water
  • • ⅔ cup sugar
  • • 5 tablespoons honey

Instructions

METHOD
1. In a large pot, bring water to the boil and season with salt and pepper. Add the lamb riblets and blanch for 5-10 minutes to help tenderise the meat. Remove from the water and pat dry.
2. In a bowl, combine the riblets with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Toss to ensure the riblets are evenly coated in the marinade.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Arrange the marinated riblets on a baking tray and roast for 15-20 minutes until they begin to caramelise and develop a golden-brown crust.
4. While the ribbetjies are roasting, combine soy sauce, water, sugar, and honey in a saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and reaches a sticky consistency.
5. Remove the ribbetjies from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sticky sauce over the ribs and toss to coat evenly.
6. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped spring onions and chilli. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as chips, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
