Everyone getting through this Pandemic ok? We hope so! These bring back a lot of childhood memories from my favourite Chinese food restaurant at House of Lam in New Brunswick. We love these, we wish pork ribs weren’t so expensive but they are. They are a treat in our family, we don’t make them often! Package of pork spareribs we like to use the bite size packages but you can use the full rack of ribs as well. Cut and separate all ribs. We boil them with some salt for about 20 minutes. 1 large onion chopped, 1inch pieces 1 green or red pepper chopped, 1inch pieces Lots of garlic Lots of ginger 2-3TBSP soya sauce 1-2TBSP cane sugar Lime juice, squeezed from half a lime 4-6 diced Thai Chilis 1TBSP vegetable oil 1-2 sliced jalapenos Garnish with cut green onions, optionalPrep all your veggies. We just cut the garlic in half and we leave the ginger pretty large, we love ginger!
We use a large cast iron wok to cook these, but you can use any oven safe frying pan as well. Get your wok nice and hot, add the oil and spareribs. Stirfry for a minute. Then add your soya sauce, sugar, garlic and ginger. Stirfry 5 to 7 minutes stirring frequently. Add in your onions and half your chilis, Stirfry a another minute. Now I put the wok in oven under the broiler for a few minutes stirring the spareribs a couple times, leaving them til they get a nice color. Now I return them to stove and add in the peppers, I Stirfry additional 2-3minutes.
Pour them out on your desired platter and dig in!! We served these with some papaya salad. Lucky is ready hehehe
We don’t normally but today I doubled the batter below for this recipe. Still took the same time to cook. Just makes for a larger cake. Top glaze: 2TBSP each butter or margarine & brown sugar Cake: 2-3 oranges, peeled & sliced thinly 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2TSP each baking soda & powder Couple pinches of salt 1/2CUP each cocoa & brown sugar 1/4CUP white sugar 1 egg 1/3CUP butter or margarine softened 1/4CUP orange juice 1/2CUP milkPreheat oven to 350F. I use my cast iron skillet, you can use a pie pan or a cake pan, whatever you prefer. Spray your pan with non stick spray. Peel and slice your oranges thinly. We like to use a blood orange and a regular orange, gives it a nice color. Mix your dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix your wet ingredients in another bowl. We don’t sift the dry ingredients but if you prefer to do so, go ahead. I throw my cast iron pan in oven with butter and brown sugar glaze. Just for a minute until Butter is melted. Then I mix it all around nicely on bottom of pan with brown sugar coating bottom evenly.Mix your dry and wet ingredients together, combine well.
Lay out oranges over glaze and pour batter over top.
We use a spatula to spread it out. Bake 40-45 minutes. Until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
We cool for a couple of minutes then I flip out onto a platter. If you like orange and chocolate youll love this cake. My family loves smelling it they get very excited when we make it. Let us know what you think
While in isolation during this Pandemic we are keeping extremely busy doing lots of stuff, trying new things, and well just having fun! Here’s another recipe we always wanted to try and make. It wasn’t the easiest stuffing them, and to debone the chicken but we managed. 8 chicken legs 3 mushrooms chopped up 2-4 minced garlic cloves 1 egg 2TBSP green onion, any onion works 2-4TBSP grated cheese we used Gouda, use what you have Salt pepper to taste You need to pull the skin back off the chicken leg all the way down the bottom of Leg over the bottom bone. See photo above. Then we take the cleaver and cut the chicken off. Then I clean the end with the skin I’m going to fill making sure there are no bone pieces in there. Then you need to debone the leg. We run the cleaver all around the leg to remove the chicken. Then discard the bones.
Chop up all the chicken and mix it with the onions, garlic, mushrooms, cheese, salt, pepper and egg. Combined well. So for us we thought stuffing them was the hardest part. We divided the filling up into 8 portions. We held the bone piece in our palms making a fist to hold it tightly with skin coming up from top of palm. We used out fingers to stuff them, you can use a spoon if you prefer.
Bake 375F 35-40minites. Til crispy golden. The kids loved them! It was nice not having that bone to bite threw. We will definitely make again.
Do you like smores? These are incredible and absolutely loved in our family! Minimal ingredients and easy to make. Half bag of mini marshmallows Half package of egg roll wrappers 1/2CUP milk chocolate (chocolate chips, I used left over Chocolate and cut up) 1/2CUP crushed gram cracker I like to use an egg to seal the wrappers but you can use a flour/water mixture as well. Depending on how many you are going to make, you’ll either need more or less filling. I made 9 s’mores with the ingredients above.You only want to lay out a few wrappers at a time so they don’t dry out. I sprinkle a TSP of crushed gram closer to bottom edge.Then put a couple TBSP mini marshmallows on, top with some Chocolate then sprinkle more crushed gram on top. Take bottom and flip over fillings, fold sides in. Put egg wash along top edge continue to roll and seal it.
Deep Fry 350F for couple minutes per side. They don’t take long.
We like to put on a cooling rack when done, with paper towel underneath to absorb excess oil. These won’t last long so you better dig in!! I hope your family enjoys them as much as well do.
Pizza dough half to 3/4 pound ground beef 1 onions (optional) 4-6 cloves garlic 1 jalapeno (optional) Container of mushrooms (optional) 1TBSP Italian spice I can tomato sauce 1 container/jar of pizza sauce Ball of fresh mozzarella sliced 2CUPS grated mozzarella You want lots of sauce and lots of cheese. Fry up everything in your frying pan once meat is browned add in your sauces and mushrooms. Combine well and cook on low heat til mushrooms are cooked.
I like to use my deep 10 1/4inch skillet sprayed with non stick spray. Put your pizza dough in bringing up the dough all the way up the sizes. Doesn’t have to be all the way up cause it’s going to rise so more. Add in a bottom layer of cheese on the bottom. Then top with your Hamburg mixture then top with rest of chese. We always have atleast a cup of filling left that I normally use to made pizza bombs with.We let rise on counter for about another half hour.Bake in preheated oven at 425F roughly 25-30minutes
We don’t let it cool for too long, we dig right in
We only need one piece, it’s all you need! Thin crust is our favorite but we enjoy having this from time to time, it’s delicious. Let us know what you think.
