Monday’s Bread Bowl: Tangy Pork Country Ribs

A flavor masterpiece for meat lovers

This braised pork dish reminds us of home since Mom would cook it often. It’s a fairly simple recipe, too. Braise pork country ribs until tender in a yummy sauce made from soy sauce and ketchup. This is sort of a rustic sweet and sour dish. Here is our recipe:

What you will need:

1 pot with lid
1 wooden spoon
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic gloves, chopped
1 ½ to 2lbs pork country ribs, in pieces
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
½ cup ketchup (Don't skimp here, a good ketchup makes a world of difference.)
1 and 1/2 cups water
Pinch of pepper and salt

Cooking and Directions:

Heat pot on medium-high heat. Add oil, then throw in onion. Allow onions to turn just about translucent and then add garlic. Be careful not to burn garlic. Place pork pieces in pot for several minutes to let them brown. Sprinkle pepper and salt onto browning pork. After 5-8 more minutes of cooking, pour in water and cover pot. Bring liquid to a boil before lowering heat to medium low. Simmer the pork for 40 minutes. Next, stir in soy sauce and ketchup. Cook for additional 10-15 minutes in sauce mixture. Serve immediately with white rice or steamed cabbage (for low-carb fans).
