Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy (Pulled Pork Sandwich)

Oh alright, there isn't actually lemon is this. The last few months  have been particularly challenging in finding motivation to cook. I started experimenting with different Trader Joes deli packages to try to find easy meals that I wouldn't get sick of after 2 days. I hit jackpot.

Slow Cooker Asian Spiced Pork Ribs with Noodles

The past few months I have pretty much not cooked. I was flipping through my Cook's Illustrated Cover & Bake when I came across a particularly appetizing photo and panicked... it was a Chinese food recipe. It's been a long time since I've attempted Chinese food. Last time I managed to burn noodles. For whatever reason, I was feeling particular inspired last weekend...who knows why. And what do you know? Victorious. Oh so victorious. Supposedly they are reminiscent of real Chinese spare ribs. Super tasty and did not take that long to get all of it together (granted I took my time in consideration of my last attempt at Chinese food).
