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.

All you need to do is stock up the ribs, pork back ribs, or pork side ribs, doesn't matter which. I usually buy a lot when it goes on sale and keep them in the freezer as they keep quite long. You cut them into pieces, depending how big the size you wish.

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.

This is a perfect dish for busy moms. You can just cook it in the morning, go to work and when you return home it will be ready. You can put the heat on medium if you are planning to cook it for longer and you don't need to worry about it getting dried. I hope you'll enjoy this recipe!
