We love Simmering Ribs, skipping the bone and lots of the fat! Make a day ahead if you prefer. Serve the ribs in pieces or shred with 2 forks.
Serve on a bed of chopped Napa Cabbage (AKA: Suey Choy or Chinese Cabbage, it’s very mild flavor and crunch is almost more like lettuce than cabbage.
Typically, we "build a bowl" so that everyone gets what they want and it's easier to Carb count. Offer rice, and vegetables thinly sliced with a mandolin.
