5-Alarm Spicy String Beans
These spicy green beans are a wok favorite around the Lil Blue Boo house. I serve them with Trader Joe’s jasmine rice (cooks in 3 minutes in the microwave) and it’s a super fast dish to prepare for a vegetarian meal!
Ingredients:
2 to 3 cups of green beans
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp chili oil
1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes
1 tbsp of any Asian sauce that has ginger and rice vinegar in it (I use a Gyoza dipping sauce from Trader Joe’s)
Southern Style Vinegar-Based Pork BBQ (Slow Cooked)
If I made it….it’s easy.
This is a combination of about 5 different recipes plus a few of my own additions based on how I remember my favorite Spoon’s BBQ in North Carolina! Make sure to set aside a long period of time for the slow cooker….it takes about 9 hours total.
Ingredients:
4 lbs of pork roast (or I use 2 2lb pork roasts)
2 white or yellow onions
2 cups of apple cider vinegar
2 cups of apple juice
1 tsp of liquid smoke
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 a bottle of regular/classic BBQ sauce (about 9 oz)
