"Simple 8 hour slow cooker recipe with 5 minutes prep time. Eat over rice. Adapted from a NY Times recipe."

 

• Ready In: 8hrs 5mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 1 pot
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3 lbs short ribs
• 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
• 1⁄4 cup honey or 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
• 2 teaspoons sesame seed oil
• 5 nickel-size slices gingerroot
• 3 garlic cloves
• 6 stalks green onions, trimmed and chopped
• 2 tablespoons green onions (to garnish)

directions

1. Place everything except garnish in slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook until meat readily falls off bone. Usually 8 hours low, or 4+ hours high.
3. Options: Add salt if needed. Can double the 5 spice powder for stronger flavor. Can throw in carrots or turnips an hour or two before finish.
4. Remove meat and skim fat from liquid.
5. Serve meat and some liquid over white rice or egg noodles and garnish with green onion or cilantro.
6. I usually make 5 pounds short ribs, because it seems to taste better the next day.
