Soy-braised short ribs are the easiest and one of the most delicious recipes.
One of the easiest short ribs recipes if you want to use Asian cuisine ingredients at home.
Tender and flavourful short ribs that you can enjoy with some sautéed greens and rice. 10/10 comfort food.
You can cook them on a classic stove pan or on the slow cooker, I will leave all the details on the recipe.
Can I cook soy-braised short ribs on the slow cooker?
Yes, of course.
The cooking process is similar: Sear the meat and transfer to the slow cooker. Sauteé the vegetables for 1 minute and add wine, cook for 1 minute and transfer to the slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients, soy sauce, sugar with water and allspice (piment).
Cook for 8 hours on LOW.
Key ingredients:
Of course good soy sauce is a key ingredient for this recipe, but do not forget about the Shaoxing wine, it will add that special flavour. You can buy it in any Asian supermarket, or online here

Thanks for the recipe!
But what do you mean exactly in step 8 with “degrease the sauce”?
Scoop the fat off or filter it?
Or do you maybe mean “decrease/reduce the sauce”?
Truly sorry for the late reply Vinodh. Yes, exactly, I meant to fat off the sauce.
