START THE RIBS
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pat the Pork ribs dry with paper towel. Coat the ribs with a drizzle of oil, the 5-spice, ½ of the BBQ sauce, and seasoning. Wrap with tinfoil and place on a roasting tray. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through, 40-45 minutes. In the final 3-4 minutes, open the tinfoil, baste with the remaining BBQ sauce and roast uncovered for the remaining time.
LET’S ROLL WITH THE RICE
Place the rice in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
SMASHED Cucumber
Using a rolling pin or bottle, smash the Cucumber and slice into bite-sized pieces before lightly seasoning. In a bowl, combine the soy vinaigrette and 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 tbsp of sweetener until fully dissolved. Add the cucumber pieces and ½ of the chilli (to taste). Toss and set aside.
FRIED RICE & OPTIONAL EGG
When the ribs have 10 minutes remaining, crack 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 egg/s (if using) into a bowl, whisk, season and set aside. Place a pan (large enough for the rice) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Carrot and fry until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the whisked egg (if using) and fry until cooked through and scrambled, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Mix in the rice, the coriander, and the remaining chilli (to taste). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
