After 90 years, our chinese restaurant is going out of business and the owner gave me this recipe. Boil ribs, then brown in sugar in peanut oil in wok, then stir fry in vinegar with five fresh vegetables. Half hour dinner, just like our chinese restaurant.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
