Preparation
- Make the marinade by mixing the ingredients together in a flat deep pan. Add the pork ribs, cover, and refrigerate at least two hours or overnight.
- Prepare the sauce by combining the sake, marinade drained from the ribs, cilantro and mint in a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce by two-thirds over medium heat. Whisk in the butter, then strain the sauce.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Roast the ribs in a flat pan for one hour and 15 minutes, until tender and cooked through. The ribs may be finished over a charcoal grill or heated in a wok with a little peanut oil and a sprinkling of sugar. Toss the ribs with the sauce in the wok, or serve on a platter with the sauce on top. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions.
