Very tasty cold out of the can; excellent flavor and texture. Used it for Teriyaki noodles with pork, was EXCELLENT! Can well filled, but there was some fat floating around the meat. If this is an issue, suggest refrigerating an hour or two to congeal the fat to ease skimming it off.Suggest that you add this to any recipe in the last few minutes of cooking, as the meat will shred quite easily.Long shelf life, good to have on hand. Highly recommend.Ordered more. Arrived in 4 days. Well packed for shipping just like last time, cans undamaged.
