Recipe 🍳

  1. Soak the beef short ribs in water for 1 hour to remove blood, then pat completely dry and remove the silver skin.
  2. Heat oil in a pan and sear the ribs on all sides until golden brown like a steak, then set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add roughly chopped onion and green onion, and cook until golden brown to bring out sweetness.
  4. Add whole black peppercorns and minced garlic, stir-fry, then add soy sauce, sugar, and water; boil for about 15 minutes to create a sauce base.
  5. Strain the sauce through a sieve to obtain a clear seasoned liquid.
  6. Place the seared ribs, strained sauce, and Cheongyang chili pepper for a spicy kick into a pot; simmer for at least 1 hour until tender.
  7. Add the pitted dried jujubes to the rib cooking liquid to soften, then blend with heavy cream and warm water to make a smooth jujube purée.
  8. Remove the tender ribs; thicken the remaining sauce with starch slurry, then add chopped red chili pepper and scallions.
  9. Heat a pan and quickly grill the napa cabbage on high heat until lightly charred but still crisp.
  10. Arrange the grilled cabbage on a plate, top with the ribs, and serve with the special sauce and jujube purée; finish with chestnut powder and sesame oil.
  1. Remove blood and silver skin from ribs, then sear in a pan until golden.
  2. In the same pan, roast vegetables, add soy sauce seasoning, boil, and strain to make the sauce.
  3. Add strained sauce, ribs, and Cheongyang chili pepper; simmer for over 1 hour.
  4. Blend softened jujubes with heavy cream to make jujube purée.
  5. Place ribs on grilled cabbage, drizzle with thickened starch sauce and jujube purée, then top with chestnut powder and sesame oil.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Searing the ribs until crispy on the outside locks in juices and is key to deep flavor.
  • Straining the sauce after simmering the vegetables ensures a clean, refined, and luxurious sauce.
  • Adjust the thickness of the jujube purée by gradually adding warm water while blending.
