Caramelized Pork Rib 焦糖排骨

This one of my all-time favourite. My husband said it looks like the Roasted Ribs 红烧排骨 that one of the stalls sells in the coffeeshop at my place. ;)

I have made this less dry and without the 'burn' bits we all like. It's with a coating of sweet caramelized sweet sauce instead.

Ingredients:

• 700g Meaty Pork Ribs, slightly fatty preferred
• Sesame Seeds, optional

Marinade:

• 5 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
• 4 tablespoon Brown Sugar
• 3 tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine
• 2 tablespoon Apple Cider
• 2 tablespoon Tomato Sauce
• 40ml Water 

How to do it:

1. Place ribs in a deep baking dish with the marinade.
2. Cover with foil and bake at 190C for 1 1/2 hours.
3. Bast with sauce in-between baking.
4. Remove ribs and place on a rack. Retain sauce.
5. Bast generously with the sauce and continue to bake for another 10 minutes.
6. Repeat twice.
7. Sprinkle roasted sesame seed and serve immediately.

Note:
I cut the slab of rib individually. You can cook using the whole slab of ribs instead if you like.

French Bean with Salted Egg Yolk 四季豆炒咸蛋黄

This is my husband and my favourite dish and we will always order this if it's available when we dine out.  However, it super sinful for it's high cholesterol from the salted egg yolks.

If you are not afraid of the high cholesterol, try this. You can either sliced the french beans or leave it as it is. And if you prefer to be able to bite into bigger bits of the salted yolks, you can chop it instead of smashing with a folk

Ingredients:

• 500g French Bean, top and tips removed
• 2 Salted Egg Yolk
• 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
• Salt to taste

How to do it:

1. Sliced the french bean diagonally or leave it as it is.
2. Steam the salted egg yolk till cooked.
3. Smash the yolks.
4. Heat oil in wok.
5. Stir fry french beans till just cooked. You'll see the colour of the french beans changed to a deeper green.
6. Stir in the smashed egg yolks.
7. Toss to mix well.
8. Add salt to taste.
9. Dish and serve.

Note:

• I cook the whole salted eggs, like how to do hard boiled eggs.  I remove the yolk from the hard boiled salted egg. I find it less messy this way.
• If you want it more creamy, switch step 5 and step 6. Add 2 tablespoon Evaporated Milk and stir in the smashed egg yolks. After which your return the cooked french bean to toss well.
