    One from the past Keef, I’m marinating these tonight, Char Siu, has a fantastic flavour, love to see your 2023 version, not had much luck with ribs in the oven, I’m giving the slow cooker a go 👍

    Did you have anise in your five spice? mine does and it gives the whole marinade an overwhelming licorice smell. It is marinating now and my question did this smell subdue after cooking

    keef, when i were a kid i used to go to the chinese chippy near me and sometimes we would get ribs and they looked just like yours and tasted incredible. if these ribs by you are indeed the same, i will be well chuffed.

    I have been using your hot water pastry and pork pie filling recipes for some years now and have total faith in you!

    For my rice, I like to add a pinch of curry powder and a pinch of saffron (I have a large stash of saffron that I brought from a trip to Morocco – it's incredibly cheap there, something to remember if you're ever in that neighborhood). I also use a bit more liquid – 2 cups of stock for every cup of long-grain rice. Fry the rice grains for a couple of minutes in the butter or oil, add the hot stock, add the curry and saffron, put the lid on and drop the heat to low (on my stove, 2 out of 10). Don't even look at it for 20 minutes. At the 20-minute mark, it's done.

    They look fab. They remind of when I was a kid. I lived in Bournemouth for most of my childhood, but I'd come up to Leicester and visit my grandparents. On a saturday night, gramps would go to the local chinese and get us all a takeaway, and I ALWAYS had the spare ribs, and they looked just like that haha!

    Just need some Sherry and i'm good to go. That Mirin looks to be good value for money as it's not usually something I use. When I make this I will freeze it and use a little at a time for stir fries. I used to use Char-Sui in Uni from a jar (Le Kum Kee) as I had a housemate from HK who got me into it.

    Nice video Keef. Chinese takeaways tend to use dark soy in char Sui (for the colour) and believe it or not a bit of peanut butter too. Plus shaoxing wine of course, instead of Japanese Mirin. And sugar instead of honey! But that's takeaways for you…
