Barbecue ribs though messy to eat are just amazing she cooked right with tender meat falling off the bone and a zingy barbecue sauce. I twice cook mine and make a really simple and easy barbecue sauce to both coat the meat when barbecuing or grilling and to pour over them when serving.

For the meat-

1 Kg meaty free range pork rib rack.

1 star anise.

White pepper.

1 Teaspoon of five spice powder.

2 Teaspoons of smoked paprika.

A sprinkle of salt.
For the barbecue sauce.

5 Tablespoons of dark soya Sauce.

2 Tablespoons of honey.

1 Tablespoons of smoked paprika.

1 Tablespoon of tomato purée.

2 Tablespoons of sugar.

White pepper.
