Prepare the beef ribs
After purchasing the beef ribs, wash them thoroughly with diluted salt water to remove any blood and dirt, then rinse again with cold water.
TipSome people might find the smell of beef ribs a bit unpleasant, so you can use the following tips to help eliminate the odor before braising:
- Boil the beef ribs with onion and ginger to help remove the odor.
- Rinse the beef ribs briefly with boiling water, shake off any residue, and wash them clean with water.
-
Marinate the beef ribs
Peel and crush the shallots and garlic. Clean the ginger, peel it, and then crush it.
Put the beef ribs in a pot, add the crushed shallots, garlic, and ginger. Add a little ground pepper along with 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, and mix the beef ribs well to absorb the seasoning.
Tip: If you have time, marinate the ribs for about 20 – 30 minutes before braising to allow the ribs to absorb the seasoning better.
-
Beef Short Ribs Braised
Put the beef short ribs into the rice cooker, add boiling water to cover the ribs. Press the Cook button and close the lid of the rice cooker.
Braised the beef short ribs until the water in the ribs is almost gone, and the cooker switches to Warm mode, then scoop the ribs onto a plate, adding a little pepper and coriander for decoration.
Tip: If you don’t want to braise using the rice cooker, you can braise using a regular gas stove pot. Braising with a rice cooker will save time, make the ribs softer, absorb the seasoning better, and ensure they do not burn during the cooking process.

How to choose and buy ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose carrots that are bright orange, medium-sized, not too big or too small, and feel firm when held.
- Prefer carrots with green, fresh tops that are firmly attached to the root.
- These are freshly harvested carrots that will have a more delicious flavor. Do not buy carrots that feel slightly soft when pressed, are wilted, or have dark spots on the skin.
How to choose fresh and delicious white radish
- It is advisable to buy medium to large white radishes, tapering towards the tail. Radishes with a thick tail often contain a lot of water and taste bland.
- Fresh and delicious white radishes will still have their stems and roots intact, with the stems being fresh and whole. This indicates that these radishes have just been harvested.
- Avoid white radishes with rotten stems, while the skin still appears smooth and shiny, as they may have been injected with preservatives. They will not taste good and are not healthy.
How to choose delicious shiitake mushrooms
- For dried shiitake mushrooms: Choose mushrooms that are not broken and have a light brown cap. In particular, pay attention to ensure there is no musty smell or strange odor, and that there are no white mold spots on the mushrooms.
- For fresh shiitake mushrooms: Choose mushrooms that are medium-sized, with short stems, tightly closed caps, and a slightly yellowish-brown color. Avoid choosing mushrooms with dark brown caps as they may be poisonous. Additionally, they should have the characteristic, natural aroma of mushrooms.

Prepare the vegetables and mushrooms
Clean the shiitake mushrooms with diluted salt water, then rinse with clean water and let them drain. Use a knife to score the mushroom caps into a star shape.
Wash the onion, trim the roots, and cut it into pieces about 2 finger joints long. Divide this onion into 2 parts, one part for braising the ribs and one part for cooking.
Wash the carrot and radish, peel the skin, and cut them into small bite-sized pieces, depending on your family’s preferences. Peel 3 pieces of ginger, wash them clean, and finely chop the ginger. Cut the chili in half, remove the seeds, and then cut it into pieces.

Preparing and boiling beef ribs
Beef ribs bought should be washed clean with diluted salt water and then rinsed with cold water. Place a pot on the stove and bring to a boil, then blanch the beef ribs for 5 minutes and remove them to rinse again with water.
Next, place the beef ribs into a pressure cooker, add 1 liter of water, 3 tablespoons of sugar, a portion of onion, 2 small pieces of ginger, 1 tablespoon of bay leaf seasoning, 3 tablespoons of rice wine, 3 tablespoons of Coca-Cola, and 1 tablespoon of Korean soy sauce. Then boil the ribs for 10 – 15 minutes.
After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and release the steam from the pressure cooker. Open the pot and remove the ribs to a pan.
-
Stewing beef ribs
After removing the ribs to the pan, add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of seasoning powder, diced radish, mushrooms, and carrots, and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the ribs. Mix well and add the strained beef broth to the pan so that it covers the beef ribs.
Turn on the heat and stew the beef ribs over medium heat. When the mixture boils, skim off the cloudy foam from the surface of the stew. Continue to stew the ribs until the broth reduces, thickens, and caramelizes, then add a little ground pepper, chili, and onion before turning off the heat.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Beef Ribs
On the market, you can choose to buy fresh beef ribs that have just been cut at traditional market stalls or buy frozen ribs at supermarkets.
With fresh ribs:
- When choosing ribs, you should select those that include both bone and meat so that when cooked, the meat does not fall apart but still has a delicious flavor; typically, these rib pieces have flat and small bones.
- Fresh and delicious beef ribs should have a bright red color and a distinctive smell; you should avoid rib pieces that have a foul smell or a preserved odor.
- Additionally, to check, you can press your hand on the rib piece; if the meat feels firm and has elasticity, it is fresh and good quality.
With frozen ribs:
- You should pay attention to selecting ribs that are well-packaged, with labels clearly stating information and origin. Checking the expiration date is an essential step.
- The surface of the ribs must be dry and have a bright red color; avoid selecting pieces that are too pale, bluish, or have an unusual dark red color.
- You should purchase from reputable locations to ensure food quality.
How to Clean Beef Ribs Properly, Without Odor
- Furthermore, to completely eliminate the odor of the ribs, before preparing the dish, briefly dip the meat in boiling water for about 3 – 4 minutes, then take it out and rinse with cold water.
- Another handy tip is that you can add a little white wine to the water when blanching the ribs. Wine is very effective in eliminating foul odors.
