Bak Kut Teh

This is a Malaysian pork rib stew brewed in tea leaves and soy sauce delicious! Super fast and easy. You can also make it in a crock pot.

1. Boil half a pot of water in a medium saucepan.
2. Add half a section of pork ribs into boiling water.
3. Add 1/2 a clove (do not peel) of garlic, 1 package of Bak Kut Teh mix, 1 stalk of dried bean curd, a bunch of dried shiitakes (I have super cute mini ones) - you can get these at an Asian store, 2 tbsp of dark soy sauce 1 tbsp of light soy sauce and a couple of boiled eggs (peeled). I added quail eggs ( from MSU!) for fun.
4. Bring to a boil then let simmer a couple hours.
5. Salt to taste
6. Serve with steamed rice

** if you want to make this veggie friendly just leave out the pork and add a little extra soy sauce and put some fried tofu cubes in place of the meat.

B is out of town this weekend so I am indulging myself in non-veggie friendly dishes in between studying the Krebs and Calvin cycle ;)
