Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Properly soaking the LA Galbi to remove blood is a crucial step for achieving the best flavor and tenderness. This process helps eliminate any gamey odors, resulting in a cleaner taste. Adding 2 tablespoons of sugar to the soaking water significantly speeds up the blood removal. Submerge the ribs in the sugar water for about 1 hour, changing the water once during this time for optimal results.
Step 2
After soaking, rinse the LA Galbi gently under cold water to remove any remaining blood. Drain them thoroughly and place them in a container, ready for the next step.
Step 3
To prepare the delicious marinade, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in a bowl. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 4
Next, add 3 tablespoons of mirin and 2 tablespoons of minced garlic to the mixture. In a separate blender or by grating, prepare about 2 cups of pureed fruit by blending 1 kiwi, 1/4 pear, 1/4 apple, and 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger juice.
Step 5
Combine the pureed fruit mixture with the soy sauce base. Whisk everything together to create a well-balanced and flavorful LA Galbi marinade.
Step 6
Arrange the drained LA Galbi in a single layer in your marinating container or dish. Pour the prepared marinade generously over the ribs.
Step 7
Make sure to coat each piece of LA Galbi evenly with the marinade. Ensure that every piece is well-covered to absorb the flavors as it marinates.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to grill the marinated LA Galbi. The key to perfectly grilled short ribs is heat control. Avoid high heat, as it can burn the marinade and the meat quickly. Instead, cook the ribs over medium-low or low heat, flipping them occasionally. This gentle cooking method allows the meat to become tender and infused with flavor without burning.
Step 9
Once perfectly grilled and beautifully caramelized, arrange the LA Galbi on a serving platter. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and red chili pepper for a vibrant presentation. (Chopped pine nuts are also a wonderful addition if you have them.)
