It's getting chilly in Hong Kong (finally!) and the cool refreshing winds that were absent all summer (and most of the autumn...sigh) are now come back, nipping at my legs and arms, urging me to dig out those stored away down jackets. I'm loving it, the coolness, the brilliant blue of the almost winter sky, the feeling of space opening up everywhere.
I love the cooler seasons and all that it brings and especially love the food! These are the warming foods, the foods that insist on warm huddles about the table, the cold kept out as we devour the foods that warm and sustain us with the extra energy we need.
One constant at our autumn and winter table is this Chinese Five Spice Ribs 五香烤排骨, ribs marinated with a special dry rub spice mix then slow roasted at low heat until the flavor infused meat tenderly, deliciously falls off the bone and straight into your mouth. YUMMM! If you like eating spare ribs, you've gotta try this easy foolproof recipe. You'll find yourself making ribs at home that are as good as or better than what you've ever had outside!
