I was inspired by a steamed pork ribs recipe . To make the dish even more irresistible, I braised the pork ribs in a sauce pan till they were golden brown. The tender, juicy ribs paired well with the slightly salty black beans.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-asian-style-braised-pork-ribs-black-beans/feed/ 1 7015 https://thequirinokitchen.com/chinese-beef-with-jersey-tomatoes/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/chinese-beef-with-jersey-tomatoes/#comments Sun, 07 Jul 2013 03:00:00 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=3820 I’ve been told I’m lucky I can enjoy Jersey tomatoes every summer.
