5. Add oil and heat the oil for 30 seconds
6. Gently add the dried pork ribs and brown slightly in the wok, truing it often to brown evenly
7. Add the chilli, garlic, ginger and spring onion into the wok and toss through, making sure it is evenly distributed.  Stir fry for about 1 minute
8. Season to taste with salt and pepper
9. Toss the ketcup manis through, evenly coating the surface of the ribs
10. Serve with light soy or cherry vinegar
