Unlike for your typical red braised variety, this shop doesn't add spicy bean sauce and Sichuan spices to the broth. Boneless short ribs are braised in a soy-based stock with vegetables and fruit for at least 3 hours. The resulting broth imparts a deep meaty flavour and a mild fruitiness; a knob of homemade beef fat takes the umami up a notch. The marinated meats are also worth trying.
