Korea Inspiring

Braised Short Ribs (Galbi Jim)

These Korean braised short ribs are slow simmered over low heat to a tender and sweet finish. It's hard to have leftovers with Galbi Jim because it's such a crowd-pleaser, whether it's served at a fancy gathering or just as a comforting homestyle meal. To stretch the recipe, you can cut up pieces of brisket or other roasting beef cuts to stew size and cook with the short ribs. But you should always try to make it with bone-in ribs, because like Italian osso bucco or Irish stew, Galbi Jim relies on the stewed bone marrow for its rich flavor.

Simple Seafood

From bubbling stews to ten-minute toaster oven fish, these Korean recipes are easy and delicious.

Scallion Pancakes (Pa Jun)
