If there is any dish that can best represent Wuxi, it must be the famous dish of the Qing Dynasty, ribs with sauce, and it is also a must-see food for foreign tourists when they come to Wuxi. To make sauce ribs, use good ribs, preferably Taihu pig with a weight of 160 kg for about one year. The most traditional way is to combine the oily smell of pork ribs, pork belly, pig ears and pork belly, the colloid of pig ears and the meat texture of pork ribs into a charming taste with rich texture and sticky taste.

But in fact, if you chew it a few more times, you will get the salty taste of the meat.
