Juicy tender ribs in BBQ sauce served with fine side dishes.

Rinse the ribs of any bone fragments and dry thoroughly. Sprinkle the meaty sides with baking powder. Mix the two sauces together and marinate the ribs in it, covered, overnight. Tip: If you can’t get baby ribs, you can use meaty spare ribs and cut them lengthwise into individual rib segments and then cut these into thirds crosswise. The next day, bring to room temperature, strain, reserve the broth for the sauce, and pat the ribs dry. For the mashed potatoes, follow the recipe. Wash the snow peas, cut off both ends, and remove the strings on both sides. Halve larger pods crosswise, leaving smaller ones. For the sauce, cut off both ends of the garlic cloves, peel them, and press them dry with a garlic press. Wash and peel the fresh ginger. Grate the required amount on a fine grater. Weigh the frozen goods and thaw them. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Heat the frying oil in a wok or deep fryer to 200°C. Fry the ribs in 4 batches until light brown, but do not cook them through, and drain on kitchen paper. Pour the sauce into a sufficiently large pan and add the ribs. Cover and simmer for 60 minutes. If the potatoes lose a lot of liquid, add a little more tomato juice and mix in. 15 minutes before the end of this time, prepare the mashed potatoes and keep warm. Place the butter in a small casserole dish and heat. Add the snow peas and the remaining ingredients, mix well, and season to taste. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Divide the mashed potatoes, snow peas, and ribs among serving plates with a little sauce and serve warm.
