Galbitang (Korean Beef Short Rib Soup)

We made another slow-simmering beef soup last night called galbitang, which includes beef short ribs, Korean radish (mu), and glass noodles (dangmyun). Serve with rice and other banchan (side dishes).

Step: 1

Soak ribs in a large bowl of cold water to drain residual blood, changing water as needed, about 1 hour. Drain.

Step: 2

Mix soy sauce, 4 cloves minced garlic, sesame oil, and pepper together in a bowl. Add sliced radish.

Step: 3

Place ribs in a large pot and cover with water. Add onion half, 2 cloves garlic, and ginger. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam that floats to the top, about 15 minutes. Drain, discarding onion, garlic, and ginger.

Step: 4

Rinse ribs and return to the pot. Cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

Step: 5

Stir radish mixture into the pot. Cook until flavors combine, about 10 minutes. Add noodles and scallions; cook until noodles are tender, 2 to 4 minutes.

Step: 6

Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with egg strips and toasted sesame seeds.

The name of “stew” can refer to both a food and a cooking method. Stewing makes not fast cooking piece of meat, vegetables or beans in a flavorful water based . It’s similar to braising, but it makes have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked all of it , and the water based material all of it covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for making a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming featured food , but stew’s comfort factor goes way beyond protecting you from the cold . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
