SIMPLE ROASTED BABY BOK CHOY
Cooking Baby Bok Choy couldn't get any easier than this. These little guys are simply seasoned with salt and pepper and then oven-roasted until lightly browned and leaves are crisp. Other seasonings could be used as well per your preference.

Steps:
- Add the oil, garlic and ginger into a wok or large saute pan. Turn the heat to medium-high. As the oil heats, the garlic and ginger will infuse the oil with flavor. Take care that they do not burn. When the oil is hot, add the bok choy and the snow peas and toss to coat them in the oil.
- Stir-fry the mixture for about a minute. Add the stock and oyster sauce and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 2 minute until the bok choy stems are crisp-tender. Drizzle the sesame oil over the mixture and serve.
SIMPLE, SUCCULENT BBQ BABY BACK RIBS
I love this quick ribs recipe. The meat is tender, delicious and just falls off the bone. The kicked-up BBQ sauce really enhances the flavors. We did add the chili flakes for that extra bite, but these would be just as good without it. Great for your next cookout!

Steps:
- 1. Cut the sides of ribs into 'racks' of 4-5 ribs each.
- 2. Boil water in a large pot.
- 3. Add racks of ribs and boil for 45 minutes.
- 4. While waiting for the ribs to boil, mix the BBQ sauce, liquid smoke, cider vinegar, chili flakes and about 1 tsp of the steak spice.
- 5. Preheat BBQ.
- 6. Remove ribs from water and sprinkle both sides liberally with the steak spice and garlic powder.
- 7. Add ribs to BBQ and brush top side with sauce immediately.
- 8. Flip ribs over and sauce the other side.
- 9. Cook ribs on BBQ turning 1/4 turn at 2 min mark and flip again at 4 min mark. About 8 mins total for both sides. NOTE - my times are approximate here - You are only doing this to caramelize the sauce and put some BBQ char marks on the ribs - so use your eyes to decide when they look good - and feel free to baste with more sauce before serving so they have that 'wet and shiny' look!
- 10. Remove from BBQ and enjoy!
