Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionWhisk soy sauce, sugar, oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, star anise, and 1 cup water in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved.
Add short ribs and place a small plate on top of short ribs to keep submerged.
Cover bowl and chill at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Transfer marinade and ribs to a large Dutch oven and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Cover and braise in oven, turning meat once, until ribs are very tender but not quite falling off the bone, 1 1/2–2 hours.
Transfer ribs to a medium bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
Strain braising liquid into a medium saucepan; discard solids.
Let sit a minute or so to settle, then ladle off fat from surface; discard.
Bring braising liquid to a boil and cook, whisking occasionally, until reduced by half, 10–15 minutes.
Whisk cornstarch and 3 Tbsp. water in a small bowl to make a slurry, then whisk into reduced braising liquid.
Cook over medium, whisking constantly, until glaze is thick and bubbling, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
Mound rice in center of shallow bowls and place ribs on top.
Drizzle about 2 Tbsp. glaze over each (you’ll have plenty left over; save it and serve with grilled steak or chicken).
Top with scallion and sesame seeds.
Serve with lime wedges and Sriracha.
