Their sticky sesame spare ribs will result in tender sticky goodness without needing to do an overnight marinade, however, you will need to do a quick marinade for just 20 minutes.
This recipe requires you to cook the spare ribs over a braai or grill, make sure to prepare your coals well before you start making your spare ribs and eventually cooking them.
