ingredients
  • 1.5kg Nature's Fresh short ribs
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 red chillies, sliced (seeds removed if preferred)
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, bruised
  • 125ml light soy sauce
  • 75ml maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 500ml beef or chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (optional for extra depth)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup, for glaze
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Fresh red chilli, sliced, for garnish
  • Steamed sushi rice, to serve
  • Quick-pickled cucumbers or radishes, to serve
  • Steamed bok choy, to serve
method
  • Preheat your oven to 150°C. Pat the short ribs dry with kitchen paper and season lightly. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until golden brown. Remove the ribs and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add the ginger, garlic, chillies, and lemongrass, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Return the short ribs to the pot, then pour in the soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, stock, rice vinegar, and fish sauce (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5-3 hours or until the meat is very tender and almost falling off the bone.
  • Once cooked, carefully remove the short ribs from the braising liquid. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat, then sear the ribs on all sides until caramelised and crispy. In a separate bowl, mix the maple syrup and sesame seeds to create a glaze. Brush the glaze over the caramelised ribs before serving.
  • To serve, plate the ribs over steamed sushi rice, and garnish with extra sesame seeds, sliced spring onions, and fresh chilli. Accompany with pickled vegetables and steamed bok choy for a balanced and visually appealing dish. Enjoy these richly flavoured ribs with the added crunch and sweetness of the glaze!
