- this is another Shanghai special, short ribs coated with seasoned, roasted and grounded rice ( coarser than bread crumbs) and steamed in bamboo steamer for about two hours. the results are extremely tender, juicy meat on the bone with the grounded rice and carrots ( as the bottom layer under the meat in the steamer) soaked with meat juice and full of flavor.
