Serves: 4
Method
1. If the spare ribs are still attached to each other, cut between them to separate them (or you could ask your butcher to do this when you buy them). Place the spare ribs in a large bowl.
2. Mix together all the remaining ingredients, except the spring onions, and pour over the ribs. Toss well to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge overnight.
3. Cook the ribs on a medium-hot barbecue, turning frequently, for about 30-40 minutes. Brush occasionally with the remaining marinade.
4. While the ribs are cooking, finely slice the spring onions. Scatter them over the ribs and serve immediately.
