Method

Place the ribs in a large saucepan and pour over the apple juice. Add enough cold water to cover, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 mins until cooked through. Skim off any scum that comes to the surface with a slotted spoon. Drain, discard the cooking liquid and place in a large, shallow, non-metallic dish.
Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over the ribs. Combine until completely coated - the best way to do this is with clean hands. Marinate overnight in the fridge or for at least 1 hour on the day.
Cook on the barbecue for 10-15 mins, turning frequently until meat is beginning to char. Serve each rib inside a Chinese cabbage leaf for easy eating.
