These braised pork ribs are tender and coated in a rich, tangy glaze. Simmered in a savory-sweet sauce made with balsamic vinegar, tonkatsu sauce, and soy sauce, the ribs develop a deep umami flavor with a glossy finish.

Garnished with chopped nuts and parsley, this recipe from W Table is both delicious and visually appealing.
