Ribs stewed in medicinal herbs
This is the Taiwanese version of bak kut the, the Chinese meat soup that's also popular in Singapore and Malaysia. In Taiwan, the soup is slow-cooked in Chinese medicinal ingredients, extracting the essence from pork bones and more than 14 nutritious herbs, roots and dried fruits.
It's yummy and good for you, too. It's also a great way to keep warm in winter. There isn't much meat on the lean bones, but the point of the dish is the soup. Locals pick the bones up and suck the juice off. You might be considered strange if you don't do the same.
