Slow Cooker Korean Style Country Ribs

 This Asian style dish was something I created by adapting a recipe I had for Bulgogi (Korean beef) and slow cooking it with very inexpensive country style ribs I had on hand.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, add more cornstarch to the slurry.

4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 onion, sliced
1/2 an apple, grated (I used a Granny Smith)
2/3 cup soy sauce
2 T toasted sesame seed oil
2 T brown sugar
white pepper, to taste
1 cup beef broth
2 lbs pork country ribs
cornstarch slurry (1 T constarch mixed with a little water)
hot cooked rice (I used brown)
toasted sesame seeds

In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients from garlic through broth. Taste and adjust as desired.

Add ribs to slow cooker. Pour soy sauce mixture over the top of the ribs. Cook on high for 1 hour and low for 4 hours or til meat is fork tender.

Remove meat and set aside to keep warm. http://media-files.gather.com/images/d640/d229/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpgWhisk slurry into broth in cooker. Cover and cook another 30 minutes or til thickened.

Serve ribs alongside rice with sauce over the top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d638/d229/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

~Big Al's~ Subs

 I was inspired by this article from my sister Rob, who explains who Big Al is and what he has meant to legions of hungry people in a small town: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977272353&nav=Namespace What makes Big Al's subs better than any others that I have tried are the buns. He uses the same dough recipe as he does for the pizza. This is what I have tried to recreate here. I also made the sub sauce, which is near world famous. I don't think anyone who orders a sub from Big Al's does not also get a side of the sauce. (Well, other than me, but Matt likes it, so of course I had to make it). This is my version of the Big Al's Special complete with sub sauce. Homemade Sub Buns (recipe follows) Capicola Genoa Salami Provolone Cheese Lettuce, tomato and onion Pepperoncini (optional. They aren't authentic to an Al's) Al's Sub Sauce (recipe follows) Homemade Sub Buns I use this pizza dough recipe, which I really like:...
