For a thicker sauce, create a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir the slurry into the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking, allowing it to thicken to your desired consistency. Consider searing the short ribs in a hot pan before placing them in the slow cooker. This will add an extra layer of flavor through the Maillard reaction, enhancing the overall richness of the dish. Serve these Sweet Asian Short Ribs with a side of steamed rice, quinoa, or your favorite Asian-inspired vegetable dish for a complete and satisfying meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
