Use kitchen paper to remove the water on the surface of the short ribs. Then add ground black pepper, salt, Shaoxing wine,light soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well until the starch coats each of the ribs. Marinate for around 15 minutes.

Now heat your pan until really hot. Pour in oil and fry the short ribs over a high fire. That’s the secret of tender, juicy short ribs. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until the surface is well seared. Transfer the ribs out and only leave the oil.
