3 cloves garlic, minced
1 piece (1 inch) peeled fresh ginger, minced

Place the sugar, oyster sauce (if using), soy sauce, sake or sherry, garlic, ginger, and scallion whites in a large, mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Stir in the short ribs. Cover the bowl and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Preheat grill to high.

Transfer the ribs to a platter or plates, sprinkle the scallion greens on top, and serve.
