Asian-Style Ribs with Stir-Fried Bok Choy and Rice was delicious!  I hope you enjoy it as we have.

The Recipe: Asian-Style Ribs

Ingredients

  • ½ cup gluten and dairy free plum sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons gluten and dairy free barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 inch piece fresh ginger, freshly grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 pounds loinback pork ribs, cut into section (Loin Chops were on sale, so that is what I will use instead)

Instructions 

  • Combine plum sauce, barbecue sauce, orange juice, oil, ginger, garlic and cumin. Pour over ribs and allow to marinate 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cover and bake for 1 hour, or until meat is tender. Remove and barbecue for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked.
  • Note: I didn’t get this marinated as I had to grocery shop in the morning, so I tossed everything in the crock pot at noon and put it on high heat setting. About 15 min before dinner, I took the chops out, laid them in a jelly roll pan, brushed then with the plum sauce I had left over (about 1/4 cup) and broiled the chops until the sauce glazed the chops. Keep a close eye on your ribs or chops if you choose to broil, so they don’t burn!

The Recipe: Stir-Fried Bok Choy

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bok choy
  • 2 tablespoon chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon gfcf oyster sauce, I used a GFCF fish sauce I had in my fridge
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon gluten and dairy free, lower sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot flour or tapioca starch/flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 slices fresh ginger root
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed and peeled

Instructions 

  • Separate the bok choy into stalks. Wash in several changes of cold water and drain thoroughly in a colander. Trim 1/4 inch from the bottom of each stalk. Halve each stalk lengthwise and cut stalks and leaves into 2 inch long pieces. In a bowl, combine the stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar. Heat a 14 inch flat-bottomed wok or skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add 1-1/2 tsp. vegetable oil and ginger, and stir-fry 10 seconds, or until ginger is fragrant. Add the remaining 1-1/2 tsp. vegetable oil, bok choy, and garlic, and stir-fry 1-2 minutes, or until leaves are just limp and bok choy is bright green. Restir the stock mixture and swirl into wok. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and lightly coats the vegetables. Serve immediately.
