GUINNESS RIBS

Guinness ribs is one of the few pork ribs dishes we usually see in most Chinese restaurants. If you love stout, you definitely have to try this out. Hubby loved these ribs. The marinade laced with Guinness tenderizes and adds wonderful flavor to the ribs. Yes, you can still taste the distinctive malty flavor of Guinness but the bitterness of the stout is mellowed down by the brown sugar in the marinade and sauce :) 
It's one awesome pork ribs dish with bold flavors!
These ribs are finger-licking good!

Ingredients:


  • Approx 400g spare ribs, cut into small individual pieces 
  • 1 can of Guinness stout
  • Light soya sauce: 1/2 tbsp for marinade and 1 tbsp for sauce
  • Brown sugar: 1/2 tsp for marinade and 1 tbsp for sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato sauce
  • A dash of white pepper powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • Oil, for pan frying
  • Roasted sesame seeds, for garnishing (Optional)

  1. Marinade the spare ribs with 1/3 cup of Guinness stout, 1/2 tbsp light soya sauce, 1/2 tsp brown sugar, white pepper powder and salt for about an hour.
  2. Heat oil in a pan and pan fry the ribs til browned on all sides. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat up a wok and pour in the remaining Guinness stout, 1 tbsp light soya sauce, 1 tbsp tomato sauce and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Mix well and let it thicken slightly. 
  4. Add in the spare ribs and continue cooking til the sauce thickens and almost completely reduced/dried up. Garnish with some roasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.

YACON SOUP WITH CORN AND CARROT

Was shopping at the usual supermarket recently when I saw a lady promoting something which, from far, looked like sweet potatoes to me. I didn't pay attention to her til she called out to me and handed me a piece to sample. She was promoting organic yacons, not sweet potato. The moment I put it into my mouth, I remembered eating this looong time ago, but because I seldom see it in the supermarkets, I had totally forgotten about such a thing.  The yacon is a traditionally grown for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. Though the root looks like a   sweet potato, the taste and texture are completely different. Its crispy texture, juiciness and mildly sweet taste makes it somewhat similar to water chestnut or snow pear. It can be eaten raw or cook. It is said that yacon  is very high in fiber and low in calories which makes it a healthy and nutritious snack.   Some of the health benefits of yacon include its ability to regulate blood sugar levels, lower 'bad'  choles

CHINESE ARROWROOT SOUP WITH PORK BONES

This is the simple version of the Chinese arrowroot soup (Also known as 粉葛湯 'Fun Kot Tong' in Cantonese). Our family love drinking this soup. It is tasty and cooking it with pork bones and dried squid makes it sweet and refreshing. Some people who like boiling arrowroot together with lotus roots or peanuts, and my mother-in-law usually boils it on its own and drink as 'cooling' tea. Naturally sweet and tasty. If you don't like seafood, you can choose to omit the dried squid. This is how the Chinese arrowroot looks like.  The arrowroot is a type of root plant similar to taro, potato or tapioca. However, it is harder in texture and incredibly starchy. When it is cut up, it has patterns that looks like the ages of a tree trunk. It is usually made into powder and used as thicken agent in cooking. The arrowroot is high in protein and fiber which is very beneficial to our body. Ingredients: 1 medium-sized Chinese arrowroot (Approx 700g) 10 red dates,

LEAN'S @ ATRIA SHOPPING GALLERY

Tong sui are a Cantonese specialty. If you've grown up in a Cantonese family, you must have had tong sui before. The term 'tong sui' literally means 'sugar water'. It is a collective term for any sweet, warm soup or custard served as a dessert at the end of a meal in Cantonese cuisine. My dad is a huge fan of tong sui : red bean soup, peanut soup, barley ginkgo and black sesame soup being his favorite. I'm not really a tong sui person but I remember seeing this Lean's place in Atria that sells a variety of desserts, including tong sui , nyonya kuihs and light meals, so I brought my dad there to try when my parents came over. It was afternoon teatime when we arrived. We were feeling a little hungry, so we ordered 2 nasi lemak bungkus, a cucur udang, steam cakes for my LO, black sesame cream, barley ginkgo and bubur cha cha. Nasi Lemak bungkus (RM3.70). Cucur udang (RM3). Pandan and vanilla steam cake (RM1.50 each). Nasi lemak is a famous lo
