Sue's Famous Ribs
This recipe is dedicated to my brother and whoever else who enjoys ribs. A lot of people asked for this recipe after they tried it, and they do not believe how easy it was. I usually bring this to potluck parties, as it's so easy to make and everybody usually loves it. They always tell me how they love it, that it melts right in your mouth! It's really soft and tender, and flavourful.
The ingredients;
Ribs, 1 or 2 rack
2-3 cloves garlic ( finely chopped)
1 ginger about 2 inches ( slice them )
2 tbsp ground bean sauce/ black bean sauce
3 tbsp plum sauce ( you can add more if you like it more sour)
1 tsp sugar
First, fried the garlic and ginger in a wok or big pan with oil until golden brown. Then add the ground bean sauce, stir and add sugar, followed by the plum sauce. I usually cook the meat halfway cooked like the picture shown above.
After cooking it in the wok, transfer it into a slow-cooker/ crock-pot and put it on high. It will take about 3-4 hours if you prefer soft tender meat. It will be harder if it's not cooked long enough. Sometimes I add chili pepper in just to add in some spiciness to it. Stir it occasionally to make sure all parts get soaked with the sauce.

Dried Pork Meat
Due to overwhelming responds on my FB for the recipes, I'm going to post all my recipes here. If you have any other recipes that your would like to share, please don't hesitate to let me know.
This is dried meat aka Bakua in Hokkien. We usually have this during Chinese New Year. It's kind of a sweet pork jerky. It's really delicious, and you can put it in sandwiches, or just to eat it like that like a snack. Usually kids loves them, as well as the adults.
I saw this recipe from a blog " Little Corner of Mine" and I knew I had to try it out. It looked really simple, otherwise I won't make it.
Here's my version of the recipe;
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground meat, with some fats ( your can try it with chicken too if you don't eat pork)
1 & 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp cooking wine
1/2 cup sugar ( I used slightly less than 1/2 cup)
1 lb. ground meat, with some fats ( your can try it with chicken too if you don't eat pork)
1 & 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp cooking wine
1/2 cup sugar ( I used slightly less than 1/2 cup)
Put ground meat in a big bowl. Add in the seasoning. Use Chopsticks and stir in one direction until the meat becomes gluey.
Put some gluey ground meat on a wax paper. Cover with a big cling wrap (I think plastic sheet is better) and use a roller to roll the minced meat to 2mm thick. (*Do not use aluminum foil as it will stick!)
Put the parchment/wax paper with the ground meat, on a baking tray.
Bake in preheated oven at 125 degree Celsius (250 F) for 20 minutes. **After that, increase the temperature to 180 degree Celsius ( 350 F) and bake for about 20-30 minutes. Keep a close watch, as it burns easily at this stage.

I would prefer it on charcoal grill but this will do. You can put it in the grill later to get it burn more.
Cooled and cut into pieces. It doesn't last very long so you can keep it in the refridgerator or just eat them up quickly!
