Tips

  • Searing the short ribs before slow cooking adds even more depth of flavor, but it's optional.

  • For a richer broth, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter just before serving.

  • A splash of rice vinegar or fresh lime juice brightens the finished bowl.

  • Leftover short ribs make an even more flavorful ramen the next day.


This ramen is deeply savory with melt-in-your-mouth beef, aromatic garlic and ginger, and a rich broth that's perfect for a cozy dinner.
