Marinating time overnight
Instructions
Combine all marinade ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
Place ribs in a container, add marinade and coat well. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 150°C fan-forced.
Transfer ribs to a roasting tray, along with any marinade, cover with foil and roast for 3 hours or until fork-tender.
Remove ribs from oven. Transfer marinade to a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes or until reduced to thick consistency for glazing.
Preheat a charcoal grill or barbecue to high. Grill ribs, basting generously with marinade, for about 4 minutes or until nicely sticky.
Place cabbage, spring onion and nashi in a large bowl. Whisk remaining slaw dressing ingredients together in a small bowl, then pour over slaw and toss to combine.
Serve slaw with pork ribs.
