Chinese New Year ribs and suckling pig

Recommended Posts

Ok, I did this cook back on the 7th to celebrate Chinese New Year here in Singapore. Wanted a real center piece for the table and my wife reminisces about her grandfather's tradition of cooking a whole pig every year when she was a little girl in Northern China... So we had to go pig mad!! First up the ribs:

Dry brine over night before adding the (salt less) home made rub: it's Meathead of AmazingRibs website's "Memphis Dust" recipe

And now for "this little piggy"

It really "hogged" the limelight that night!!

Wouldn't be Chinese New Year without 200 home made Chinese dumplings from SWMBO and mother-out-law:

Makes for an epic spread:

And a less traditional 'adult beverage' to round out the evening

If you can see straight by midnight then ya 'ain't trying!!

Let's just say the morning after was a lot less fun....

But Angie always steals the show:

Great cook and wonderful family pictures!   Many thanks for sharing!!

 

My family never had an ethnic "food culture" when growing up....Kraft Macaroni & Cheese was a treat for us.  My first daughter married into a family of great cooks from Puerto Rico and Southern Georgia.....talk about tasty family get-together s.  My second daughter married into an Irish Clan.....the family food is great also and they sure like their whiskey.   

 

Fantastic to see your family food.
