Food 4 Thought
After making the blessing over the washing of hands, we remain silent until reciting the blessing over the bread. This silence offers a powerful opportunity for mindful eating. Focused on our inner selves rather than conversation, we digest not just the challah, but the quiet moments surrounding it. This practice, uncomfortable for some, elevates the meal and fosters a deeper connection with both the food and ourselves.  Learn more about eating mindfully Jewish.

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees and arrange a rack in the middle.
  • Mix together sherry, hoisin sauce, and brown sugar until evenly combined; set aside.
  • Pat ribs dry with a paper towel and season well with salt and five-spice powder.
  • Place a 3-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat and add oil.
  • When oil starts to smoke, add ribs and brown, about 2 minutes per side. 

Remove ribs to a plate and set aside.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings, return pan to stove, and add garlic, ginger, and chile and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in reserved sherry mixture and bring to a simmer.
  • 

Return ribs to pan and bring to a simmer.
  • Cover and transfer to oven to cook, turning occasionally, until meat is knife tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Increase oven to 400 degrees and cook, covered, until ribs are sticky, about 30 more minutes.
