spsn | Sparerib Marmalade from One Dish 2012.04.27 (Reply)

As we all know, Riidaa Sakamoto has started his own short cooking show One Dish. It's been running for about 1 month plus now and I love every single episode of it. Not just because it's Sakamoto (yeah, eye candy is always welcome, but hey, I don't like Mokomichi's cooking show, though it's quite famous that he published his own cooking book). The show focus on making a dish out of the main ingredient, and what it means to me is that less washing and less thing to buy if I want to whip up the dish in my kitchen, so yeah I'm in! But that doesn't mean the main ingredient is cheap, though.

For the Spare Rib Marmalade recipe, I ended up substituting it with a pork chop because I can't find the nice huge spare rib (even if I have to splurge for them) in my regular groceries, but that didn't change how easy and delicious the dish is, and I'm not kidding, it's really good, Sakamoto is the man!

Expectation:

Reality:

What you need for 2 portion:
3 small potatoes - cut half
6 no snap peas - slide the sides
1 big clove garlic, smashed (I use 2 because the garlic that I have in the pantry are not big ones)
4 pc spare ribs
Sauce:
100 cc Sake
100 cc Soy sauce
50 cc water
150 gr marmalade
Seasoning: salt, pepper

How to:
1. On the wok, add oil and fry the garlic until slightly brown pan fry the potatoes until the flat side turn slightly brown. Using paper towel, absorb the oil, add water and close the wok with a lid.
2. While waiting for the water to be fully dried up, prepare the snap peas.
3. Once the water dries up, add on snap peas and add water again, close the lid.
4. Prepare the spare ribs, sprinkle salt and pepper both sides.
5. Once the water for the snap peas dries up, set aside the potatoes and snap peas. Using the same wok, grill the spare rib. Ensure both sides are slightly browning. Add on sake, soy sauce and water. Place the marmalade on top of the spare ribs. Close the lid for 15 minutes.
6. For presentation, the show adds some greenies.
