Ingredients:
For the Ribs:
2 lbs (900g) pork ribs
1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup (240ml) BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for garnish)
For the Fried Rice:
2 cups (400g) cooked and cooled rice
1/2 cup (75g) diced carrots
1/2 cup (75g) green peas
1/4 cup (35g) sweet corn
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Biscuits:
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (60g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup (180ml) buttermilk
Instructions:
Prepare the Ribs:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
Rub the ribs with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 2.5–3 hours until tender.
In a small saucepan, heat the BBQ sauce and honey until combined. Brush the sauce over the ribs and broil for 5–7 minutes until caramelized. Garnish with chili flakes, if desired.
Cook the Fried Rice:
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Push the garlic to the side and scramble the eggs in the same skillet.
Add carrots, peas, and corn, sautéing until tender.
Stir in the cooked rice and soy sauce, mixing until evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake the Biscuits:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined.
Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.
Assemble and Serve:
Plate the ribs alongside the fried rice and freshly baked biscuits. Serve immediately for a hearty, satisfying meal.
Perfect for family dinners or weekend feasts!
