Five spice powder is an aromatic blend of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, sichuan pepper, fennel, and other spices that pair beautifully with rich and meaty short ribs. In this recipe we season the short ribs with five spice powder and slow cook them in a mix of shaoxing wine, ginger, and garlic. The short ribs, which can be shredded or left whole, are served over fluffy jasmine rice and garnished with fresh cilantro. The braising liquid is deeply flavorful and perfect for spooning over the short ribs. If desired, reduce the liquid on the stovetop for a thicker sauce.
