Recommendation
The Shanghai Boneless Ribs are an excellent option for those craving a rich, savory dish with a touch of sweetness. The tender pork paired with the sweet-savory sauce makes for a satisfying meal. However, it’s a bit on the richer side due to the fat content, so it may be best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence.
Pair it with a lighter side like steamed rice or Super Greens to balance the richness. If you’re mindful of your sodium or fat intake, be aware that this dish is relatively high in both, so consider enjoying it in moderation or alongside a more balanced entrée. It’s a great choice for anyone looking for something comforting and flavorful, especially if you’re a fan of pork.
