Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s crucial to properly remove the blood from the LA Galbi. Soak the ribs in cold water for about 2 hours, changing the water once or twice if possible. Gently rinse the bone areas under running water while soaking to ensure all blood is removed, resulting in a cleaner taste.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the special marinade that will give the LA Galbi its incredible flavor. Referencing a popular Korean recipe (like Baek Jong Won’s), for 2kg of LA Galbi, combine: 1.5 cups soy sauce, 1/3 cup sugar, 2/3 cup mirin, 1/3 cup plum extract, 80ml pear juice, 1/3 cup cooking wine (soju or cheongju), 1/4 cup minced garlic, 1/3 tsp ginger powder, 2/3 cup chopped green onion, 2 Tbsp sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk all ingredients together until well combined.
Step 3
Place the drained LA Galbi into the marinade. Layer the ribs, ensuring each piece is coated evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to deepen. Storing them in a kimchi refrigerator or an airtight container helps maintain the ideal temperature for marination.
Step 4
Time to grill the most delicious part! Marinated ribs can burn easily, so it’s important to cook them carefully. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated ribs to the pan, along with any remaining marinade. Pour in 1/3 cup of water. Cook, covered, allowing the ribs to braise and tenderize in the sauce. This method prevents burning and ensures the galbi remains wonderfully tender and juicy. It’s a simple tip that even beginners can use!
Step 5
This is also a foolproof method to prevent burning! If you notice the ribs cooking too quickly or starting to burn, don’t hesitate to add a little more water. Adding water will help keep the galbi moist and allow it to cook through gently without scorching. With this careful grilling technique, you’ll achieve a truly satisfying LA Galbi dish that everyone will love.
