Instructions
1
Prep
Cut spring onion into 5cm lengths. Lightly crush garlic cloves. Slice ginger into 2 pieces. Halve pak choi lengthways. Measure sake, soy sauce, mirin, dashi stock, rock sugar, and sesame oil.
2
Boil
Place short ribs in a medium pot, cover with cold water, bring to a hard boil over high heat for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water, removing all dark matter.
3
Braise
Return ribs to pot. Add dashi, sake, soy sauce, mirin, rock sugar, ginger, spring onion, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, skim foam. Cover with drop lid and braise over low heat 2–2.5 hours, turning every 45 minutes, until meat pulls from bone.
4
Reduce
Remove ribs carefully. Increase heat to medium-high and reduce braising liquid 6–8 minutes until thick, glossy, and coating the back of a spoon. Return ribs to glaze, turn to coat, rest 5 minutes.
5
Steam
While liquid reduces, blanch pak choi in boiling water 2 minutes until just tender. Drain and toss with sesame oil and a splash of soy sauce.
6
Plate
Spoon steamed rice into bowls. Arrange glazed short ribs over rice, spoon reduced glaze generously over top. Place pak choi alongside with karashi mustard for dipping on the side.
