Method

In a large bowl, combine the rice wine, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, honey, five-spice, 1 teaspoon salt and the smashed and chopped garlic. Mix well, then add the pork ribs, tossing to coat them in the marinade. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours.
