Slow cooked sweet and spicy beef ribs



I was feeling a little experimental tonight after I saw my friend's photos on food which included this recipe. She had pork instead of beef though. My husband likes beef, so I got beef instead of pork and just kept my fingers crossed while I placed everything in the crockpot. Whoever invented the crockpot is a GENIUS!!! The meat was so tender that it was falling off the bone and the flavor was also absorbed by the meat. My friend's recipe went something like this:




Ingredients:

1 Pack Lee Kum Kee Sauce for Sweet & Spicy Beef or Pork Ribs
Pineapple chunks (Optional)
Garlic and onion
Bell Pepper

Procedure:

1. Boil the ribs with water and add a little salt until it's tender.

2. Pan fry the ribs when it becomes tender until it turns golden yellow.

3. Sautee the garlic, onion and bell pepper in a separate pan. Add the ribs and add water (estimate how much water you will need for the ribs) 

4.Add the 1 Pack Lee Kum Kee sauce and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until cooked.

5. Just add a little salt to taste and add the Pineapple chunks 

6. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes and serve!

I had the same ingredients except for the pineapple chunks. I am a little weird 'coz I love pineapples, but I don't like it mixed with my food even with my pizza. It spoils my appetite, so I stay away from recipes with pineapples. So if you are planning to make me cook/eat something with pineapples, consider yourself banned from my life forever - or maybe just for a day.


Here's what I've done for the slow cooked beef ribs:

1. rub salt on the ribs and place it in the crock pot. 
2. add all the rest of the ingredients. I used 2 packets of Lee Kum Kee sauce, since the ribs that I had were gigantaur and there was no way on earth I would be able to cut it in smaller sections. Hah! I used my common sense on this part.
3. Estimate the water. I think I used 4 cups - just enough to cover the ribs. I didn't want dehydrated ribs after 8 hours. I might as well fry it if I slow cook it and ends up dry.
4. Add a tablespoon of Sriracha sauce. If you don't like spicy food, skip this. Don't say I didn't warn you.
5. A tablespoon of sweet chili sauce. 
6. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. I cheated on this 'coz I know my husband will die of hunger if I set it on low when I started cooking at 2pm. It was on low until 6pm then high from 6 'til 9pm. Do the math. I hate math.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we had dinner at 9pm 'coz I cooked late! So if you are on the after 6 diet, you can also skip our house. We only eat dinner at 7pm if we haven't had food from the night before. :) 

So there you go. My own "lazy" version of the sweet and spicy ribs. Once again, whoever invented the crock pot is a GENIUS!!!!


I apologize if this recipe is a little crazy. It's my day off, so I am obviously - IN.A.GOOD.MOOD. :)

Medical Examination at SLMCEC

November 9-10, 2009 This will be a blow by blow account of my medical exam that took place last week. If you want to be first in line, you can be there as early as 3am, but I went there at 5am because I wanted to make sure that I am safe while taking the exam and I don't want to wait in line for 2-3 hours. It was a good move, since they were already accepting applicants at 5am and I got in around 5:20am and I was the 54th applicant of the day. Make sure to have the following ready: 1. Passport 2. 4 2x2 visa pictures (they will only take 3 though, but I brought 4 since that's their requirement) 3. Original and photocopy of approval letter from the embassy 4. Print out of your interview schedule 5. Black ballpoint pen 6. Payment (213.35 - exchange rate is at 48) Flow chart: 1. At 5:30 I already got in and filled out the Patient Data Sheet form. Memorize your fiance's address and phone number or at least have a copy of it. 2. The guard called us up for the digital picture taki...

I'm not so evil after all

" I never got the chance to be your trainee, but I heard a lot of good things about you Ms. Dee." Reading this post from someone I barely even know made my heart flutter. I know that I have been totally brutal with my trainees when I was still working as a trainer back home 'coz I want them to be excellent in their field. I know I was hated by many 'coz I don't know how to kiss people's asses. I even almost got in trouble with our big boss when I was only passing a few people during interviews. A lot of people were mad at me 'coz of my unbelievable standards. A lot of times it did affect me and all I wanted was to please everyone, but I was also pushed by my one of my supervisors not to lower my standards. I got reprimanded for passing a few people during interviews by our big boss, and I got reprimanded by my direct supervisor for passing a lot of trainees during my class. I was totally confused when I was starting up in my new field. But time, experience...

Crafts for less

I don't really know what it is with the holiday season, but my "craftiness" usually kicks in whenever Christmas is fast approaching. It all started about a year ago when I decided to make personalized cards and gifts for my friends, family members, and colleagues. My Mom is really crafty, but I wasn't really interested in making projects when I was a lot younger, 'coz I'm just too lazy to even think about a concept. Our house in the Philippines will always be festive by October 'coz my Mom will decorate the entire place with so much attention to every detail, so that her holiday theme will flow all throughout our house. Meanwhile, I will just sit on the couch and watch TV and lounge like there's no tomorrow. I showed no interest at all, as everything was just too much for my brain cells to handle.
