1) In a bowl, whisk the soy, sugar, molasses, ketchup, cayenne, black bean sauce, garlic and brown sauce. Put in the ribs and give a toss to coat the ribs with marinade. Cover and marinate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
2) To make the coleslaw, take a wide bowl. Add in the red cabbage, finely shredded carrots,onions, red chilli, mayonnaise, lime juice and soy sauce. Mix them well and chill till needed.
3) Take a large frying pan or 2 large frying pans and heat a little oil. Place the ribs in a single layer in batches and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes. Constantly, keep turning the ribs from side to side. Baste the ribs well in the marinade until they are cooked well and become sticky. Cook over medium heat so that the marinade does not evaporate before the ribs cook

SERVING
4) Server by keeping ribs onto individual plates, along with a spoonful of coleslaw, finely sliced spring onions and hot chilli sauce.
