These sticky ribs from Scott Hallsworth are cooked in master stock, an impressive-sounding name for a secretly very simple stock. This recipe uses Amoy's dark soy sauce, so that the ribs have a beautiful burnished brown colour. The ribs can be cooked a day ahead - just leave them in the stock overnight and then barbecue on the day.
