Easy Korean Braised Short Rib (GALBI-JJIM)

Daeho is one of the most popular local restaurants in the Bay Area for galbi-jjim, and it’ll run you about $100 after tip and the mozzarella tax, iykyk. And I assume that’s roughly how much it would cost at other Korean restaurants today.

I love this dish because it’s so hearty and comforting, but my wallet sheds a tear every time. So I wondered how well one could make it at home, and I was surprised to learn that it’s not only incredibly simple, but also massively cheaper. About $65 cheaper (adjusted for the same portions, etc etc). Honestly, I felt slightly cheated when I discovered how close the results came to restaurant quality given the simple ingredients and preparation.

Here you go.

Ingredients:

- 4 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in 2½ cups cold water until soft (~1 hour)
- 2 lbs of short rib, soaked and parboiled to remove impurities
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup mirin, or water
- 3 tbsp white cane sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 bulb of garlic (~14 cloves), minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 1/3 cup korean pear, grated
- 1 medium size of daikon radish, peeled (350g) (8-12oz)
- 2 large carrots, peeled (350g) (8-12oz)
- 4 scallion whites
- 2 medium sized potatoes, peeled (350g) (8-12oz)
- 1 - 2 tbsp of red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 tbsp rice syrup

This is the tenth galbi jjim video I've watched and I'm horrified to see you pour the water from the meat into the sink after it's boiled. In Turkiye, the broth of boiled meat and chicken is very valuable. The broth is made into soup or added to meals.
