Ingredients

How to Make It

  • 1

    Soak the 1kg short ribs in cold water for 30 minutes to draw out excess blood.

  • 2

    Blanch the ribs in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water.

  • 3

    Blend the 1 pear with 6 cloves of garlic until smooth to create the base of the marinade.

  • 4

    In a bowl, whisk together 150ml soy sauce, the fruit puree, 60g brown sugar, and 30ml sesame oil.

  • 5

    Place the ribs and sauce in a heavy-bottomed pot and add 500ml of water.

  • 6

    Simmer on low heat for 60 minutes with the lid on until the meat is tender.

  • 7

    Add 200g of radish cut into chunks and cook for another 20 minutes until soft.

  • 8

    Turn up the heat for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce into a glossy, thick glaze.
