Microwave cooking is quick, using less oil and tender. It's important to choose a think and strong microwaveable pan when you cook more than 4 minutes at a time. If you use high watts microwave, you will need to reduce cooking time. Marinate sauces may be chosen from any of your favorite ones. I uses Teriyaki sauce with glaze of honey at the end.
Simple ingredients:
- 2 lb. short ribs, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cooking wine
- Some chopped green onions, fresh ginger and garlic, salt and ground black pepper to your taste
- Mix all ingredients together and marinate at least one hour.
- Layer marinated short ribs in a microwaveable pan (one layer at a time). Place in microwave and cook on high for 4 minutes. Then, turn to the other side, cook another 4 minutes. After that, turn again and cook 2 minutes at a time, twice. Ribs should be cooked if not too thick. Cook additional 2 minutes if not cooked.
- Remove the ribs in a dinner plate. Add 2 Tbsp. honey into the remain sauce in the pan, microwave 1 minute to thicker the sauce. Pour over the short ribs to give it honey flavor and glaze of shine.
