This is another dish I cooked for dinner last weekend when my daughter was home for Thanksgiving break. This can’t be any easier with the slow cooker; just dump all the ingredients into the cooker, set it to low and stew it for 8 hours. Its another dish that I remember my sister used to cook for me back home.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork spare ribs, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 (14 oz) package of medium firm tofu, cut into 3/4 in cubes

• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
• 3 Tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp sugar

1. Boil 4 cups of water in a medium pot. When water boils, add spareribs and bring it back to a boil over medium high heat. Drain and transfer the spareribs into the slow cooker. Discard the water.
2. Refill the medium pot with 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Add peanuts and boil for 3 minutes. The water will turn brown and cloudy, Drain and transfer the peanuts into the slow cooker.
