• For the short ribs: Stir short ribs, soy sauce, mirin, garlic powder, garlic, thyme and 4 cups cold water together in a pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cover. Cook until the meat is very tender, about 4 hours.

• For the pickled red onions: Meanwhile, combine vinegar, salt, sugar and 3 cups water in a pot over high heat. Put onions in a heat-safe container. Once the pickling liquid comes to a rolling boil, turn off the heat and pour it over the onions. Make sure you use a container that will cover the red onions completely with the liquid; weigh down the onions with a plate if necessary. Let it sit at room temp so the color bleeds out from the red onions, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate. (Pickled onions can be used as soon as they are cold, but they are best after at least 3 days.)
