Ribs and Kai Sin Cai

Hey all,

In a less themed combination we had slow cooked ribs and kai sin cai (a leafy vegetable with hollow stems). Seems it was done well enough and fed 5 well with lots of left overs for the veggies. Anyways here was the menu:

Ribs:
I really like just slow cooked ribs on its own. We were going to prepare a glaze but then we got hungry and ate it plain ><.
  • 4 1/2 lbs Pork Spare Ribs
Preheat oven to 250 F on bake. Wrap the pork ribs in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Remove, cut and serve. Glaze can be added at this point (many sauces work such as sweet chili sauce).

Kai Sin Cai:
We haven't cooked this vegetable before, but it was rather successful. It was nice and crunchy, and more than enough for 5 for $2.

  • 1 lbs Kai Sin Cai (On Choy)
  • 18 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup Soy Sauce (separated)
  • 1/2 cup Rice Wine (separated)
  • 1 Green Onion (chopped)
  • 1 handful Parsley (minced)
Heat up oil in a large pan. Take 6 cloves of garlic and fry until brown. Remove from pan and fry the 1/3 of vegetables with 1/3 of total soy sauce and rice wine until soft (may turn brown but ok). Remove and repeat with the other 2/3. At the end fry all the vegetables (should fit in pan now that water has been heated off) with the fried garlic, green onion, and parsley for a minute. Remove from heat and serve.

Along with this we had steamed corn and rice. It was a pretty satisfying meal I feel. We ate all the ribs so we may be out of meat for tomorrow's lunch ><. Maybe we'll all just have veggies and rice.

Cheers,
---Chris
