This is a slow cooker recipe where cooking beef short ribs on the bone in this way allows so much goodness to flow into the dish. It could also be adapted for a casserole but I haven't got around to doing that yet! This is quite a simple dish to do but the most important thing about it is how the coconut milk is used in the recipe as coconut milk does not work well with long slow cooking. It's best to read the advice in the full recipe above the coconut milk images. How it is served also depends on whether you want to serve on the bone or off.

Can this be done in a low (e.g. 140C) oven?

See no reason why not, make sure it’s covered to prevent evaporation.

What weight beef? Thanks

Hi looks delicious. Do you make your own roti? Would love the recipe please. I adore these with purée prawns.

Hi Kathy, As it says in the recipe “I’m serving this with Paratha flatbread which is like a flaky Roti and you can buy them in the freezer cabinets of most supermarkets, the ones I am using came from Sainsbury’s.” Seriuosly good, had a lot worse Roti in Indian restaurants!

I’ve made this quite a few times now and love it! Serving with a good few roti’s is a must to soak up all the tasty sauce! 😋
Been really impressed with all the pastes I’ve used from my Thai curry so would definitely recommend 🙌🏼

This recipe sounds (and looks) delicious!
Would beef brisket work with this recipe please?
———
mythaicurry replied:
This would work with brisket 100%, texture and cooking times so similar. Right now brisket may even be the better cut to use as short ribs seem to get bigger later in the year.

Hi, is the weight of the ribs you cooked combined, or each rib?
Thank you:)

mythaicurry replied:
Hi, that was the combined weight.

I’ve had a pack of these in the freezer since February and from Sainsbury’s I’m making this tomorrow. 😀

Thank you for sharing this recipe, it was absolute delicious. Meat was falling off the bone and sauce was amazing. I also made some roasted shallots to go alongside, just lovely!

Hi, just wondering how many ribs I need to make this?
———
mythaicurry replied:
Ribs vary in size and weight, as it says in the recipe the ribs used here weighed 1.2 kg and were sufficient for 4 people. If you are going to serve the ribs on the bone you would need 1 rib per person, however an easier way of serving and eating is to remove the meat from the bone before serving.

Thai Green Fish Curry

June 07, 2026

This is an incredibly simple dish to prepare. It can be made in minutes with fresh or frozen fish, the only caveat being to choose fish steaks instead of fish fillets if possible as they hold together better when cooking. Also, if using frozen fish allow it to defrost first. You can also choose the level of spice you desire as our Green curry pastes comes with three different spice levels! I'm using the Bangkok Green curry paste which is a medium heat here but you can also check out the Mild...

Thai Mango & Sticky Rice

So, even if you think you may never make Thailand’s favourite dessert you should still watch the video just to listen to the foot tapping Issan music to perk up your day! This recipe is at its best when mangoes are at their best. Typically this will be from April to September for mangoes from Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. These are best found in Asian grocery shops, not as cheap as the supermarket varieties because they are picked at the height of ripeness and exported by air.

Crying Tiger, The Makeover!

June 19, 2025

Crying Tiger beef has long been one of our favourite recipes especially during the summer months when alfresco dining and barbecues abound. Recently I have started to take the dish beyond the original recipe, especially if I am cooking for a group of people. I love Crying Tiger whichever way it is prepared, but there is no doubt that this method of preparation takes it to a different level. The reason for this is that the state is cooked using the Reverse Sear method. This results in a perfec...
