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.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge.
