Cut through the meaty side of each short rib to the bone at 1/2 inch
intervals, leaving the meat attached to the bone. In a bowl whisk together
well the garlic, soy sauce, oil, ginger root, sugar, vinegar,sesame seeds,
pepper and coat each thoroughly with the marinade. Transfer the ribs as they
are coated to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the scallon and any

chilled, turning the bag occasionally overnight.
Grill the ribs, and the marinade discard, meaty side down on a oiled rack

You can use any bread recipe you want. I usually use this simple one:

Dissolve 2 packets of active yeast (4 1/2 t) in warm (~ body temp)
water. Add one cup of all purpose flour and one cup of wheat flour.
Mix until smooth.

Keep adding flour (alternating all purpose and wheat) and mixing until
very hard to mix. (about 2-3 cups) Turn out on a floured board.

Knead until flour is smooth and not sticky – you will need to add more
flour – another 1 1/2 – 2 cups, try to divide evenly between all purpose
and whole wheat.

Roll the kneaded dough into a ball. Put in a lightly oiled bowl and
turn to coat the whole surface with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm
place until doubles (1 to 1 1/2 hours). Then punch down. Let rest 10
minutes. Divide into 4-6 smaller balls, and put them on cookie sheets.
Flatten the balls into disks and let rise for about another hour.

If desired, brush with egg white (I usually don’t) Cook at 375 for 40-50
minutes. Bread should sound hollow when thumped. Remove from oven and
let cool.

Here’s the tricky part. You will have 4-6 round loaves. Cut a circle
out of the top of each loaf, and remove that piece of crust. You will
have a thick crust bread with a circle of exposed softer bread. Smush
down the inner part (you can scoop out the bread if you want to, but I
prefer to leave the bread to soak up the gravy).

This works great for stews and chili. If you don’t let the circles rise
you should get flatter loaves for ‘trenchers’, but I haven’t tried it
yet.
