This hearty Korean style braised short ribs recipe packs a ton of assertive flavor – and achieves a slow cooked tenderness you’d normally have to wait the better part of a day for.

But since we’re using a Tiger multi cooker, dinner at your house will be on the table in a fraction of the time it would normally take.

Hey – sometimes it helps to have the right kitchen tools!

SO, WHAT ARE BRAISED SHORT RIBS? WHAT DOES BRAISED EVEN MEAN?

Braising is a cooking technique that calls for you to first sear something at high heat – and then finish it in liquid at lower heat inside a closed container (usually a stewpot).

In the case of these savory short ribs, you’ll sear them on all sides in a saute pan to ensure that a lovely flavor-boosting browning takes place on the outside of the meat. That also has the effect of sealing the meat’s natural juices inside to be slowly integrated with the broth during the next step of slow cooking. That’s where the tenderizing magic happens.

Seriously, braising meat will make it so tender you can cut into it with a fork.

SLOW COOKER SHORT RIBS… IN A RICE COOKER

So instead of the usual stewpot, we’re using a multicooker (rice cooker) for the slow cooking step in this delicious Korean recipe. And we think you’re going to love it!

You see, using the Slow Cook function takes the guesswork out of the equation. When the timer goes off, it’s dinnertime!

What’s even better is that you’ll get an assertive blast of hearty slow cooked flavor from korean tobanjan and kimchi that mixes with the short ribs inside your soy sauce and beef broth infused braising liquid.

The flavor of these Korean braised short ribs is out of this world. In fact, it’s one of our favorite short ribs recipes of all time.

We hope it becomes one of your favorites too!
