By now you might be catching on to the fact that I like to do theme dinners.
This year we celebrated the lunar new year with stir fried vegetables, dry ribs, fried rice and button bones (sweet and sour pork ribs).
Button Bones is a recipe from my mom, I don't know where she got it from originally. You can buy button bones at the grocery store although I did have to go to 4 stores this time to find some.
Button Bones
1 lb button bones, cut into individual ribs
dip ribs in beaten egg, then flour
fry until brown and drain on paper towel
Mix together:
1/2 c white vinegar
1 1/4 c sugar
1 c water
1 c ketchup
Pour over ribs and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours until tender.

MMMM.......this looks YUMMY! May you share your fried rice and veggie tricks too please?!
