Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Braised Short Rib

    Season the short rib with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet until browned on all sides. Transfer to a slow cooker with your choice of braising liquid (like beef broth or red wine) and cook on low for 6-8 hours until tender.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, typically using a rice cooker. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Basil Slaw

    In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped basil, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Toss well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Gochujang Crema

    In a small bowl, mix gochujang with sour cream until smooth. Adjust the heat level by adding more gochujang if desired.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a bowl, layer the sushi rice, followed by shredded braised short rib, basil slaw, a drizzle of salsa verde, and a dollop of gochujang crema. Top with sliced scallions, fried leeks, and chile threads.
