Chinese BBQ Ribs














This recipe very, very easy and very, very tasty. I got it from the internet and just modified it a little. You just need the ff:
1. Pork Spareribs
2. Water
3. Chinese BBQ sauce
4. Garlic 3-4 cloves
5. 1-2 inch worth of ginger, sliced
6. Chili flakes/tobasco sauce (how much depends on how spicy you like it)
7. Salt & Pepper

Directions:
  1. Boil the ribs with ginger and some salt until soft
  2. Discard water and ginger (or you can use the broth for some other soup; up to you)
  3. Saute garlic and then brown the ribs' sides
  4. Take out ribs
  5. In the same pan, add Chinese BBQ sauce (enough to coat ribs), chili flakes/tobasco sauce and mix with the garlic
  6. When it simmers, put back the ribs and use a tong to rotate them so that they will be coated with the sauce (you can use a brush too, but I warn you Chinese BBQ sauce is very sticky, so that may be a little difficult)
  7. Simmer for about 10 minutes when ribs have absorbed the sauce
  8. Serve with hot rice! :)

Sweet and Sour Fish

Sweet & Sour Fish

Sweet and Sour Fish is very, very easy. You just need to fry a fish which has been seasoned with salt and pepper. When it's done, set it aside, and prepare the sauce. I don't know how to make sweet and sour sauce from scratch, so I just used a ready made one (our household uses Mama Sita) --the one you mix with water. Instead of water though, pour in the contents of a pineapple cocktail can. Mix it and simmer with the pineapple bits, sliced carrots, sliced onions, and red bell pepper. When it's a little thick (after about 10mins or so), pour over the fish and tada!

Upcoming!!!

So how'd you all like the kansi? I got so many hits after posting that recipe and I'd like to thank you! Hopefully you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Tonight for dinner I learned how to make sweet and sour fish and vegetable spring rolls. I'll be posting the recipes soon enough!

In the meanwhile, I'm planning on making Sticky Chinese BBQ Pork Ribs and Bonchon in the days to come! I'm doing some research now, and it doesn't seem so difficult to make afterall! :)
