I've always wondered if they're a guilt-free treat or a sneaky calorie bomb. Any insights on how they compare to other ribs? 
Thanks a bunch!

Hey! Chinese spare ribs can pack a decent calorie punch, depending on how they're cooked. If they're glazed or fried, they lean toward being a calorie bomb 
. They usually have more sugar and sauces compared to plain BBQ ribs. Grilled or steamed versions are lighter options though!

I think Chinese spare ribs can be pretty calorie-dense, especially with sweet sauces like hoisin or honey. Though, you could lighten it up with leaner cuts and less sugar.
