One of my favorite throw together recipes is "Chinese" style ribs with rice and sauteed cabbage... now im not sure if you've noticed at this point or not but i wouldnt say that i follow recipes? yeah, no i wouldnt say that i do that... so needless to say the "chinese" style pork ribs are never the same twice but they are always lipsmacking so here's the gist
"Chinese" Style Pork Ribs
Pork Ribs, i don't care what kind you use, country, spare, baby whatever, im sure you could use this basic sauce for any type of pork, i have even used tenderloin...
Hoisin Sauce
Apricot Preserves (or not, depending on how sweet you want it or if you have jam... you could use marmalade or plum jelly, or even apple butter if you are not bothered by cinnamon in savory dishes, which i am i HATE it...)
Soy Sauce (or tamari, or low sodium soy, or whatever umami salty sauce you like)
chili garlic paste (if it has a green lid then it will work for this)
sesame oil (this is like 1 or 2 drops for the whole batch, the barest hint is what we are going for here)
k, mix an appropriate amount of each item to satisfy your taste for the night in a large bowl or ziplock bag, toss pork in sauce, marinate about an hour?
bake/roast/broil meat on racks set in a foil wrapped baking sheet at 425 for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 375 cook till finished (times will vary greatly depending on the cut of meat you are using) while meat is cooking prepare your rice and sautee your cabbage, i like to burn the shit out of my cabbage but cook to how you like it.
Nice quick meal tasty different easy
