Shannon – just tried this out tonight and it was a HUGE hit. The best part – my 2 1/2 and 1 year olds LOVED it. We live in Germany right now and I’m still getting my bearings so I wasn’t able to find rice wine vinegar at our little market – I subbed white wine vinegar instead and the flavor was still incredible. I wanted to drink the broth like soup! Thanks again for another great recipe.

Honeychka – I believe it should be fine. You might have to monitor the liquid level and stir as the bottom can become scorched otherwise. Let us know how it turns out!

This looks lovely. Would it be possible to cook it in the dutch oven instead? We just recently got rid of our slower cook because of the lead issue. Thanks!

I must admit I was dubious, but I made this today and it was delicious! This is a great idea for beef ribs; they can be almost too fatty but the fat combined with the large amount of cabbage was perfect. It was just enough to bring the dish together and give it a nice buttery feel. My 13 month old hasn’t eaten so voraciously in weeks!

Shannon, I tried this recipe this weekend. We had family in town for my daughter’s ballet recital. I needed an easy dish that I could prepare and forget about.

This dish was great & pleased everyone. And we had an age span from 2 to 91 years!

Thanks so much for posting this.

I treated the meat as I always do for the crockpot. That is to say, I brown it in melted suet, having salted it beforehand. My butcher (we have a meat counter with actual butchers at my local market!!) is used to me asking for fatty cuts of meat and suet.

My rice also turned out badly. My cooking mojo may have just been off yesterday.

Aurelia – I’m sorry to hear that. We did not have this experience at all. Did you taste the sauce and season with salt as needed? Were your short ribs well-marbled? Did you brown the meat? All of these could be contributing factors. I am sorry you didn’t enjoy it.

I was excited to try this, but I’m saddened to report that we were utterly disappointed. It was watery, insipid and dull. I only got some savoriness into it with the sesame oil at the very end, but it only tasted of sesame oil. Perhaps if the sauce was used to marinate overnight before turning all into the crockpot?

I’ve had similar problems with other Real Simple recipes, but had hopes for this one based on what I read here.
