Clean the ribs (optional)

• Massage the pork ribs with cornstarch.
• Rinse with cold water until the water runs clear, then pat dry.

Marinate the ribs

• Combine the ribs with the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, MSG, white pepper and cooking wine.
• Massage the pork until all the liquid is absorbed into the flesh.
• Add the garlic and mix, then add the cornstarch and baking powder and mix until every rib is coated in a thick garlicky paste.

Double fry the ribs

• Heat the neutral oil to 150 °C and fry the ribs in batches until golden brown.
• Drain on a wire rack and let rest.
• Heat the oil to 175 °C and fry the ribs again, then drain on the wire rack.

Air fryer method (alternative)

• Place the ribs in the air fryer basket and spray with oil.
• Air fry at 180 °C, then flip and air fry again until cooked through and crisp.

Finish with honey

• In a wok over medium-low heat, heat the honey until bubbling.
• Add the scallions and Thai chiles, then add the ribs and coat them in the honey.
• Turn off the heat and finish with crushed roasted peanuts.
