[Cook] Chinese Red Cooked Pork Ribs

There's a great sale on pork spareribs for $1.47/lb. I was able to buy a 5+ lb full rack for only $7.63. My mom makes the best Chinese "red cooked" pork ribs. So I called my mom to get her recipe. Mom told me all the ingredients that goes into the braising sauce, but she wasn't sure about the amount because the way she cooks is by her "feeling" so she never measures anything. I did my best to figure out the correct proportion for everything. It turned out PERFECT! It tastes exactly like my mom's!

I started cooking at 9am. The ribs finished right on time for lunch. This was my version of Memorial Day's salad, ribs, and corn.

[Cook] [Slow Cooker] Asian Braised Pork

I saw this recipe for Slow Cooker Asian Braised Pork in Woman's Day Magazine. I had almost all the ingredients on hand. Only needed to go to the market for the pork. It was very easy to prepare. Pretty much just put everything in slow cooker and forget about it, then prepare the cucumber salad right before the pork is ready.  The pork turned out to be soooooooo tender and soft.  The sauce was a bit on the sweeter side.  I think I would add less brown sugar than the recipe called for the next time.
