Today I was thinking of what to cook for dinner when there’s nothing really left in the fridge but processed meat like ham and sausage which I think is not very healthy for preggers like me.  But I do have spare ribs in the freezer and I was wondering what I could do with it that’s not complicated.  I remembered the salt and pepper spare ribs I like eating in Chinese restaurants.  Though recently I’ve developed an aversion to chinese food,  (For some reason, ever since being pregnant, instead of cravings I get aversions.) the salt and pepper spare ribs don’t really taste distinctly chinese unless you mix it with those thick sauces which I have no intention of doing.  I’m pairing it with good ol’ spiced vinegar.

It turned out looking good, crispy and yummy!  Since I had no vegetables in the freezer I just topped it with green onions. Hey, at least there’s something green in it!  I’ve also been eating brown rice lately for folic acid and much needed fiber.

It was so easy to do.  Just make sure the ribs are not wet, then rub with salt and lots of pepper, then lightly dust with flour.  Then I fried it in the leftover garlic oil I had.  (That’s lots of garlic cooked in Canola oil then strained.)  Then placed the ribs in paper towel to drain the extra oil.
