I just got back from a dance class—super tired, sweaty, and honestly not trying to do anything complicated—but I still needed food. So in this video I “try” to make short rib noodles, and it’s exactly the kind of chaotic post-class cooking you’d expect from me. I start by getting water boiling for the noodles, salting it up a bit, then I heat up a pan (yes, I rent this place) and spray it down before tossing in onions and some very terribly minced garlic. I was too lazy to cut them properly, but it’s fine. The short ribs were already marinated, so I keep it simple: soy sauce vibes, garlic salt, black pepper, and a little sesame oil. I throw the short rib in, let it sizzle on low heat, and then add bok choy for greens. I kind of burn the onions and garlic, but I call it “flavor points,” move the ribs aside, and cook the bok choy in the same pan (I usually blanch it, but not today—so it’s not as green). Then it’s noodles done, hot water drain, and plating… which I admit I’m not great at. I finish with optional chili oil, taste it on camera, and give myself a thumbs up—with a note to add more sauce next time.
