Instead of buying expensive Italian Sausage for inclusion in Pizza or Lasagne:

Buy 1 lb. ground pork and mix in:

1 t. (black pepper, not fresh)

Let sit in refrigerator for several hours, then cook 15 min. in covered frypan over low with 1/4 c. water.

For "hot" style Italian sausage: add 1/4 t. crushed red pepper to the above.

This is an excellent, meaty, but not fattening dinner.

Separate 2 lbs. of pork spareribs into individual ribs by cutting them through with a knife.

Using a cleaver, chop the ribs into 1 1/2" pieces (this is important, it releases the marrow into the gravy).

Trim off any fat and mix in 1 1/2 T cornstarch to the meat.

Make the sauce:
1 1/2 c/ chicken broth, 1 t. salt, 1 t. sugar,
3/4 t. chili paste with garlic (available in Oriental Grocery Stores, it's a Vietnamese sauce); or use same amount of chili seeds shake if you must; 1 T. Hoisin Sauce, 1 T. catsup, 1 T. dark soy sauce, 1 T. oyster sauce, 1 1/2 T. white wine.

Mix 2 T. cornstarch into 4 T. water (as an emergency thickener should you need it).

Heat 2 T. oil in Wok. Add 1 T. chopped garlic, 2 diced green onions. Stir in pork and stir fry for 3 min.

Add the sauce and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium 40 min. If there is less than 1 c. sauce at the end of this process, add some more broth.

This recipe works equally well with chicken instead of pork.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
