Judy Louie

Judy Louie and Terri Liwanag are my long time Kaneohe friends. We’ve raised our families together and weathered all the ups and downs of life in general. We still make it a point to get together and have lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant in Kaneohe that lets us garner a table for hours to eat, gossip and just enjoy each others company!

Judy’s Short Rib Stew

4 lbs. short ribs
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 onions, chopped
4 carrots, cut in chunks
2-3 potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks
3 stalks celery, sliced
1-2 bay leaves
28 oz. stewed tomatoes
2 or more cans of chicken broth, enough to cover ribs with 1 or 2 inches to spare.

Season ribs with salt and pepper, then brown in a large pot with a little oil. Add garlic, onions, bay leaves, stewed tomatoes and chicken broth. Simmer for 45 minutes. Skim off excess oil then add vegetables. Simmer for another 45 minutes. Check seasoning and if needed, thicken with a flour-water mixture.
Great with side of lau lau!

ENJOY!!
