【Braised ribs with woodears and spirulina】
by MaomaoMom
Dried woodears and spirulina may be purchased from Chinese grocery store. I brought a package of spirulina while visiting China. I made this delicious dish with newly released InstantPot Smart electric pressure cooker in a total of 25 minutes. I am really impressed and amazed by this first Bluetooth smart cooker. It not only has multi-functions but also the InstantPot Smart electric pressure cooker can be fully controlled by a smart phone or ipad. You can create your own cook recipes and save them for later use. If you buy it from it’s company https://instantpot.com/store and use coupon “instantpot2014”, you can get additional $45 off。
