Very good, used as an ingredient in homemade ramen. The sauce was sticky and well balanced flavors.
If serving as a main dish, adding some fresh green onion and toasted sesame seeds when serving adds a nice freshness to the final product. Use rice and veg such as steamed or grilled Bok Choy turns these cubes of pork perfection into a fantastic meal.
