This sauce is so tasty, its Chinese name means “Seafood Tasty” even when there is no seafood in its ingredients. Apart from using as marinade in barbecue pork, it is used as dipping sauce for any roasted meat and San Choy Bow.
Ingredients:
Water, Soy Beans, Thickener (Modified Corn Starch), Sugar, Garlic, Salt
BBQ Pork Ribs with Hoi Sin
The ribs can be left to stand in the Hoi Sin mixture, in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Simmering them beforehand reduces the fat and keeps them tender.

Serves: 6
Degree of difficulty: easy
- 1kg meaty pork spare ribs
