Spicy braised spare ribs

How many ways to braise pork? I have no idea, but it certainly is one of my favorite method of cooking meat! 2lbs Pork Spare Ribs cut in 1″ x 2″ pieces 2 T Olive Oil 1/3 cup soy sauce 1  cup rice wine 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 Tablespoon…

Spicy Asian Beef Noodles

I served the beef stew as a main dish, along with stir fried spinach last night. Today for lunch the left over stew came in handy as a noodle dish, not quite as good as the one my parents make, but hits the spot anyway! Stew Beef cubes 3 table spoon Soy Sauce 4 slices…

Five-Spice Rub and Hoisin Glaze ribs

I’ve not experimented with dry rub yet, so this recipe seemed quite intriguing. Felt the result could have been more flavorful, the dry rub does not sink into the meat, so I had to get creative with the sauce… Dry Rub: 3 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder 1 tablespoon light brown sugar 1 tablespoon kosher salt…

Baked Asian Ribs

I wanted to try another method to cook the spare ribs, found this recipe online that calls for baking instead of braising. I didn’t marinate the ribs beforehand, took about 2 hours in the oven at virtually no work, and the end result was not too shabby! 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce…

Malaysian Beef Curry

Made 2 new dishes last night, both turned out quite well. Since the ingredients didn’t call for curry at all, and lots of hot pepper, I made some modifications so little girl can enjoy also… 1 lb lean beef (top round works well), trimmed 1 can coconut milk 1 T coriander 1/2 T pepper 1…

Sweet and Spicy Braised Pork

I love cooking braised dishes, since there’s not much preparation, and once everything’s on the stove, it pretty much just does it’s thing, and in a couple of hours, the dish is ready! Ingredients 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 to 2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce 2 tablespoons cooking wine 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger kosher salt and…

Braised ribs on clear noodle

Apparently my family will eat up any dish poured over clear noodles, and this one had the perfect combination. I love cooking braised meat dishes, not much prep work, once everything’s tossed into 1 pot, the stove takes care of the slow cooking while we just inhale the aroma and wait for the dish to…

Korean BarBQ Ribs

Another super easy recipe for the cook that’s trying to nurse herself back to health… 1 pound Baby back ribs, cut into small chunks Korean bbq marinate (store bought) 2 tablespoon of brown sugar Crunchy fried rice pattie Clean the baby back ribs, I slices the meat up but didn’t cut through, since didn’t have…

Sweet and Sour Pork

Got two thumbs up from the family today! Bought some pork tenderloin at the market but didn’t know what to do with it, searched around online and stumbled upon “Sweet and Sour Pork”, but most recipes call for ketchup which I do not have, so I decided to make do with Korean hot sauce paste,…

Chicken With Bamboo Shoots

Was able to use my Mama’s chicken breast secret tonight for this dish, add a bit of water and cornstarch, the chicken was nice and moist, although I wished there was more sauce overall to go with the rice. Ingredients: 1/4 pound Shabu chicken slices 2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil 1 can (8 ounces)…

Braised spareribs

Tried and true recipe, very simple to make and always comes out good. The recipe calls for lite soy sauce, I usually use dark soy sauce, plus 1tsb of chicken flavored seasoning (if you don’t have chicken stock around). Ingredients: 2 tablespoons oil for stir-frying 2 lbs pork spareribs, cut into 1 or 2 rib…

Stir Fried Beef & Broccoli

Definitely not one of my best, the recipe needs more flavor, it was pretty bland and flat, so I am on a quest to find a better Broccoli Beef recipe, share if you have one that’s flavorful! BEEF: □ 2 tsp. soy sauce □ 1/4 tsp. sugar □ 1/4 tsp. salt □ 3/4 lb. boneless…
