The mellow and sweet flavours of the Chinese ingredients work well with the rich flavours of the pork, and through long slow cooking they all blend together for a rich sauce. Once you’ve tried this, you won’t rush for the Chinese take-away menu again!

Method

Combine the ginger, garlic, chilli flakes (if using) hoisin sauce, honey and rice wine in a large bowl. Add the pork and mix until the sauce coats the spare ribs evenly. Add everything to the slow cooker and cook for 4 hours on the high setting or 8 hours on low.
About 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time, heat the sesame oil over a high heat in a wok or large frying pan and add the cooked rice. Stir and toss for 2 minutes, until the rice is heated through, then add the beaten egg and spring onions and stir until combined.
Serve the spare ribs with the sauce poured over and accompanied by the egg-fried rice.
