Honey Pork ribs


I made this for dinner recently and must admit that indeed, the ribs were finger-licking good!  Most important is that this was super easy to prepare!







Bake the ribs and blanch some vegetables and a wholesome meal is ready in a jiffy!

Ingredients
  • 600 gm prime pork ribs
  • 1.1/2  Tbsp honey
  • 3 pips garlic, crushed
  • 1/2  tsp salt
  • 1  tsp oyster sauce
  • 1/8 tsp dark soya sauce
  • 1.1/2  tsp light soya sauce
  • A dash of pepper
Sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1  Tbsp honey
  • 1/2  tsp each of :  salt and light soya sauce
  • 1.2  tsp chicken granules
  • 1.1/2 tsp cornflour + 3  tsp water to thicken
Vegetables for salad, as desired.

Preparation
  1. Wash the ribs under running water, drain, pat dry, set aside.
  2. Mix the crushed garlic, salt, oystser sauce, honey, pepper and light and dark soya sauce.
  3. Mix the marinade into the ribs, set aside for about 6 hours or preferably overnight, covered, in the fridge.  Turn the ribs once in a while to ensure that the marinade has saturated the meat.
  4. If the ribs have been refrigerated, take them out at least an hour before cooking.
  5. Place the ribs on a foil lined baking tray, devoid of marinade, let rest for about 1/2 an hour @ room temperature.
  6. Bake the ribs in a preheated oven @ 200 deg C, roast for 15 mins, then turn them over to roast for another 15 mins. until the ribs are done, preferably with a slightly singed edge, or put under the grill for 2 mins.
  7. Cook the sauce and add in any balance marinade, fine tune to taste and preferred consistency.
  8. Remove the ribs from the oven, let rest for 5 mins. and pour the sauce over them.
  9. Serve immediately with some salad.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜焖五花肉

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge. Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy   ~    梅菜焖五花肉 Ingredients  400 gm pork belly cut into bite size 100 gm  preserved sweet mui choy 3 cloves of garlic 2 slices ginger Seasoning for the pork belly 1 Tbsp dark soya sauce 1/4 Tbsp sugar 1/4 Tbsp sesame oil 1/4 Tbsp oyster sauce 1/2 tsp pepper 1/8 tsp light soya sauce Method Season the pork belly for about an hour or more.  Set aside. Soak the mui choy for 45 mins., rinse and squeeze dry.  Cut into slices Heat some oil in the wok, fry the mui choy.  Add in the ginger slices.  Stir-fry. Add in the pork  belly, fry for a while and

Steamed minced Pork with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜蒸猪肉

This is a homey, comforting dish which you can never find on the menu of a Chinese restaurant.  Perhaps you may find it in an economy rice stall.  There are two types of Mui Choy (梅菜) or preserved mustard, one is salty while the other is sweet and in this recipe, I used the latter.  The Mui Choy lends flavour and aroma to the dish and most often is paired with pork, either minced or pork belly chunks.  In this recipe, the minced meat must be with a bit of fat, otherwise the dish will turn out dry and dense.  Give this a try and see whether you like it or not. Steamed Minced Pork with Mui Choy ~  梅菜蒸猪肉  Ingredients  320 gm minced pork with a bit of fat 70 gm sweet mui choy (preserved sweet mustard green) Seasoning for minced pork 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp Shaoxing wine 1/2 tsp light soy sauce 1/2 tsp sugar 1 Tbsp oil 2 Tbsp cornflour 3 Tbsp water Method Marinate the minced pork with the above seasoning and stir the pork in one direction, till sticky.  Set
