  • Brown the short ribs before cooking. This step is important for developing flavor and color. You can brown the ribs in a skillet or in the slow cooker on the sauté setting.
  • Use a good quality curry paste. The curry paste is the key to the flavor of this dish, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of spices.
  • Add vegetables to the slow cooker. Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions add flavor and nutrition to the dish. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as celery, parsnips, or turnips.
  • Cook the short ribs on low heat. This will allow the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Serve the short ribs over rice or noodles. This is a traditional way to serve this dish, but you can also serve it over mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
