Braised Pork Ribs and Braised Winter Melon

Overview

The ribs I bought this time had a lot of crispy bones. After braised, the crispy bones crunched when chewed. It was very enjoyable to eat. Although the winter melon was put into the pot late, it was still soft and glutinous, and tasted meaty. The alternating soft and hard texture is very rich, and it is even more enjoyable to eat the fresh and tender pork ribs. Dishes that combine meat and vegetables not only satisfy your taste buds, but are also healthier.
