om...
: I'm doing the cooking for my elderly uncle (79 -- the old geezer
is
: tough!), and he's at the point where his doctors say, "Let him eat
: what he wants -- just NO SALT!" Not too tough, eh?
:
: He was watching an episode of "Cookin' in Brooklyn" that featured
: spare ribs, and of course he wanted that. I went to the website
and
: here are the ingredients (I'll put the URL at the end of this
: message):
:
: spare ribs
: 2 dried chilies
: ***1/2 cup salt***
: 1/2 cup sugar
: 2-3 onions
: 4-5 stalks celery
: 3-5 dry bay leaves
: 4-5 sliced lemons
: 1-2 yellow beet
: 2-3 cups Vietnamese fish sauce
: a few sprinkles cracked coriander
: a few sprinkles mustard seeds
: a few sprinkles black pepper
:
: I believe the salt serves to break up the meat during cooking, so
it's
: necesary. It'll also land him in the emergency room.
:
: Does anyone know of something that can be used in place of the
salt
: that will not adversely affect the taste? I'd appreciate any help
you
: all can give.

: As promised, here's the URL to the Cookin' in Brooklyn site:
