Grilled Pork Ribs á la Mimi
This recipe is based on the sugar marinade from Halfsies Chicken by Mimi. I made Mimi’s chicken recipe and loved it so much that I had to try it with pork ( the other white meat). I think it tastes even better with pork. The final grilled ribs are tender but not fall-off the bone. Doubling the salt balanced the sugar and the resulting flavor is a delightful sweet and salty flavor with a hint of heat from the cayenne. My picky I-don’t-like-dealing-with-bones husband loves these ribs. Probably the easiest and most impressive looking ribs I have ever made.
XO Fried Rice
For this fried rice recipe, you need 5 ingredients and 10 minutes. XO sauce is a condiment of scallops, shrimp, and ham. Pricey for sure but well worth it.
Grilled Corn with Scallion Sauce
From the childhood favorites file. When she wasn't boiling fresh corn on the cob, my mother would grill it and slather this sweet-salty-oniony sauce all over it. Messy, but a darn tasty treat.
Strawberry Balsamic Shrub Syrup
A few years ago, I went to my first San Francisco Street Food Festival and had a refreshingly different mocktail called a shrub. The strawberry basil shrub was one of the highlights among hundreds of street food vendors. So I researched the drink and discovered how simple it was to make. You can use just about any fruit and any vinegar, muddle in flavorings like sweet basil or thyme. The tart hit from the vinegar really makes the fruit flavor shine while adding a complexity that plays so well with the sweetness.
Decadent Fried Egg Sandwich
The decadence in this recipe is due to the amount of butter used to make the fried egg. I love this sandwich's complex salty flavor from the anchovy.
