Pork ribs are actually divided into four main types, small chops, sub chops, large chops, and rib chops.
Small Ribs: Small Ribs are the ribs near the belly portion, which is above the Ribs and Sub Ribs, because the meat of Small Ribs is thicker and with white cartilage. So pork chops are more suitable for steaming, deep-frying and grilling.
Sub-ribs: Sub-ribs are the part of the belly that connects the backbone, and below it is the pancetta. The length of the sub-chop can reach about 30 centimeters, which is suitable for a variety of cooking methods, but the texture is slightly greasy to eat.
Dai Chop: Dai Chop is the part of the meat that connects the loin and the backbone, and it has a loud name, "Meat Chop", because the bones of the Dai Chop are slightly larger, and when it is deep-fried, it will have a bone flavor, so Meat Chop is more suitable for deep-frying.
Ribs: Ribs are sliced ribs in the chest cavity, the meat is thinner and leaner, and tastes more tender, but the bones of the ribs are thicker. Often eat braised pork ribs, using the rib chop.
