Ingredients:
Marinade:
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 3 teaspoons lime juice
- 3 teaspoons soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 4 oz ginger and garlic
- 1 tsp akabanga
- 1 rack of pork ribs
- 2 cups water
- 2 limes
- 1 Shiso leaf
Instructions:
Combine the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl. Slice the ribs and toss them in the marinade. Chill overnight to marinate.
Place the ribs in a dutch oven and add 2 cups water. Cook at 250 degrees for three and a half hours. Using the leftover pork fat, pan fry the ribs.
Plate the ribs and create a sauce using the cooking liquid and the leftover marinade. Halve the limes and add before slathering the entire dish in sauce. Top the finished dish with a heart shaped herb, in the form of a Shiso leaf and serve a dish that is fit for a king.
