Notes
Which cut to choose for Chinese spare ribs?Ribs are divided into two main categories: back ribs and spare ribs. Each type has its characteristics that will influence your choice according to your preferences. The back ribs, often referred to as baby back ribs, are generally meatier and less fatty, but also more expensive. They are ideal for those who prefer abundant and flavorful meat. Conversely, spare ribs contain less meat, more fat and bone, making them cheaper. This option might suit those who enjoy meat that easily falls off the bone and is rich in flavors
