This is so flavorful! I made this a few years ago and absolutely loved it, then forgot about it for a while. When I saw short ribs on sale at the store it popped back into my head and I knew I had to make it again! YUM. I'm kind of a spice wimp but I think this level of spice is nice. I used less than 2lbs of ribs the second time and should have cut down on the cooking time - after 6 hours they were very well done. Served with cilantro on top and a squeeze of lime with bok choy on the side. Can't wait to make it again!
