Honey-Glazed Vegetarian Ribs

Method

1. 1 Soak the vegetarian ribs in warm water for 30 minutes, then drain off the excess water.
2. 2 Squeezing out the excess water is crucial; if the ribs still retain water, they won't absorb the sauce no matter how long you simmer them.
3. 3 Coat the pan with cornstarch and fry for 5 minutes until the outside is golden brown.
4. 4 Simmer soy sauce with honey, minced garlic, and 60 ml of water for 3 minutes to make a sauce.
5. 5 Simmer the vegetarian ribs in the sauce for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens, then sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
