Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, mix together the short ribs, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, brown sugar, water, green onion bases, red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons of the orange juice. Ensure the pot is tall enough for the short ribs to be fully covered by the liquid.
3. Cook the short ribs in the covered pot for around 3 hours, until the meat becomes soft and pulls easily from the bones. Take the short ribs out of the braising liquid and cover them to stay warm. Raise the oven heat to 425 degrees F.
4. Skim and remove the fat from the cooking liquid, then throw it away. Transfer the leftover braising liquid to a medium saucepan, add 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, and heat to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until reduced to about 1 1/4 cups. Pass through a fine strainer to remove solids. Mix in the remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice and the lemon juice.
5. Put the short ribs back into the stockpot or Dutch oven with the thickened sauce, making sure to coat them thoroughly. Bake for 10 minutes more, until warmed through and lightly glazed. Serve warm over jasmine rice, topped with orange zest and green onions if you like.
