Date: Fri, 21 Jun 1996 12:28:04 -0700 From: che.wong@tempe.vlsi.com Bufalo chipotle sauce seems to go very good with chinese dishes that have a dark sauce associated with them. Growing up, our family cooked and ate Cantonese style food, which has no spiciness outside of ginger. I have been using Bufalo chipotle sauce to spice up a lot of chinese home style cooking recipes. I have attached the recipe for my latest experiment. It is for pork spare ribs cooked with black beans and garlic. As always, the measurments are approximate and can be adjusted for personal tastes. Rinse the black beans and coarsely chop. Mash the garlic and chop, or put it through a garlic press. Combine the beans and the garlic. (Note that this garlic and black bean mixture is showing up in some asian food stores bottled.) Add the soy sauce, rice wine and chipotle sauce. In a deep sided frying pan, brown the ribs over medium high heat with a little oil. Depending on the size of the pan, this may need to be done in batches. Do not overcrowd. When all the meat has been browned, return the meat to the pan and add the black bean mixture and chicken broth. Be careful of the fumes as the bean mixture hits the hot pan. Stir to distribute the mixture over all of the meat. Simmer covered for 45 minutes or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally. Uncover the meat and allow the liquid to cook off. Turn the meat to get the sauce to adhere to the meat as the sauce is reduced. When the liquid has disappeared, it is ready to serve. There will be a lot of fat from the meat in the pan. Do not confuse this with the liquid you are trying to cook off. Drain the fat before serving. Make sure to scape up the black bean and garlic bits from the pan to go along with the ribs.
