I can’t wait to try this one!

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven 425F.

2. Make recipe for one pie crust, put it in the bottom of the pie dish

3. Peel/slice four peaches (or use 1 lb frozen), put on top of pie crust in concentric rings.

4. Mix in a bowl (1c sugar, 1/4 c flour, 3 egg yolks, one tsp vanilla, 8oz sour cream), pour on top of peaches, put in oven for 30 min.

5. In a separate bowl combine 4tbsp butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour and rub together until pea size crumbs, put in fridge.

6. At 30 min, pull pie out, sprinkle the crumble on top and bake for another 15 min until knife inserted in center comes out clean… I like to eat this pie cold so I put it in the fridge when I’m done. Enjoy!

Warning, they may add inches to your waist if consumed in large quantities and no exercise!

One of my roommates from Taiwan was having a 4th of July celebration at his place in San Jose, and his buddy Arvin Montano was manning the grill. He was cooking these incredible ribs that I couldn’t help but go for seconds and thirds, etc… I recently mailed him for the secret recipe:

  1. First marinate the baby back ribs in soysauce, lots of garlic, black pepper, brown sugar, green onions and a little bit of salt for 30mins
  2. Then, add 7-up and continue to marinate another 30 mins.
  3. Boil the ribs in its own marinade in low fire until its tender. Maybe 45 mins or so.
  4. Then grill it to give it the BBQ taste.
  5. Then thicken the marinade sauce with cornstarch and use that to baste the ribs while grilling.

Goes perfect with some corn on the cob and a cool beer…thanks Arvin for the recipe!

In this video, they are demonstrating red snapper, but you can really use any type of fish. I like to use sea bass. The key is in heating up the oil. You know it’s hot enough when it just starts to “smoke” while cooking in the pot. That will provide the delicious flavor to the entire dish. Enjoy!
