Okinawa Shoyu Pork
I think the Okinawans got the slow food concept right. Okinawa shoyu pork was one of my favorite recipes growing up. Shoyu pork is eaten over rice or on top of soba noodles. The soy sauce-marinated, slow-cooked pork has just the right amount of sweet taste (imagine Okinawan brown sugar). It is pretty close to perfect.
Szechuan Beef
This Szechuan beef is spicy! Serve with rice.
Kalbi (Korean Marinated Short Ribs)
On my half-day off, I decided to relax by making my favorite Korean meat dish, kalbi (marinated short ribs). Serve with white rice and kimchi. If serving small children (and wanting to prevent a mess), it's best to cut the meat off the bone and slice into bite-sized pieces. The dark marinade can stain clothes, so be careful.
