Notes

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.
