Recipe Tips
- You can get hold of broad bean post in ethnic stores or order from an online store like Amazon.
- Feel free to add in a dollop of Korean red pepper knows as Gochujang.
- You can grill the ribs after cooking if you prefer but I think they are perfect as is.
- Double up the recipe and freeze a batch for later.
Delicious Variations
- BBQ Beef Short Ribs - You can make these as BBQ ribs if you prefer. Use BBQ sauce instead of broad bean paste and skip the sesame oil.
- Add heat - Add a bit of red pepper flakes, chipotle or cayenne pepper.
