Marinate 500 grams of pork ribs by cutting them into manageable sizes.

Add 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Chinese rice wine, 1 teaspoon of salt, white pepper, and crushed red pepper to the ribs and mix well.

Add 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of corn flour to the mixture and mix thoroughly.

Refrigerate the marinated ribs for at least 1 hour.

Before frying, add another 2 tablespoons of corn flour to the ribs and mix to ensure a crispy outer layer.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat for frying the ribs.

Fry the pork ribs in batches until they are light golden brown, performing a double fry for extra crispiness.

Increase the heat to high for the second fry, ensuring to turn the ribs around to reduce moisture and achieve crispiness.

Remove the fried ribs from the oil and set aside.

In a separate pan, heat a little oil and add 3 cloves of chopped garlic, frying until fragrant but not browned.

Add 1/3 cup of water, 3 tablespoons of honey, and 3/4 tablespoon of Marmite (or Vegemite) to the pan and mix well.

Add 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce to the sauce mixture and reduce until thickened.

Toss the fried ribs in the sauce until well coated and serve.
