Sogalbijjim is the Romanization of the Korean word for “braised short ribs.” It’s a popular Korean dish, often served on special occasions like Lunar New Year (Seollal). The meat is slow-cooked in a flavorful sauce, resulting in tender, juicy short ribs.
Ingredients:
- 1.2 kg beef short ribs
- 10 chestnuts
- 10 dried jujubes
- 1/3 cup ginkgo nuts
- 1/2 pear
- For the marinade:
- 6 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp onion juice
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 4 tbsp green onion
- 2 tbsp garlic
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Pepper, sesame oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the ribs: Cut the short ribs into 2.4-inch pieces, rinse under cold water to remove blood, and trim any excess fat.
- Score and marinate: Score the ribs to allow better marinade penetration. Grate the pear and marinate the ribs in the pear juice for 30 minutes. Prepare the marinade and coat the ribs evenly.
- Braise: Place the marinated ribs in a pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then add chestnuts and jujubes. Reduce heat and simmer until the ribs are tender. Add ginkgo nuts and cook until tender.
Note: Sogalbijjim is a classic Korean dish known for its tender, flavorful short ribs. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the various ingredients, creates a delicious and hearty meal.
