#short rib

Kalbitang (Korean short rib soup)

Ingredients:

2 lbs bone-in short ribs

1 large stalk green onion

1/2 large yellow onion

2-3 cloves garlic

a few pepper corns

1/2 medium Korean radish (I used 1/6 giant one)

2 tbsp soy sauce for soup (I subbed 2 tbsp soy + 1 tbsp fish)

salt and pepper to taste

My additions:

Pho broth powder

More black pepper

more green onion (garnish)

Instructions:

Soak the short ribs for 1-2 hours in cold water. Drain and rinse.

Fill pot with water and parboil bones for 5-10 minutes. Dump this. Rinse, meat will be gritty/sandy.

Fill pot again, add aromatics (onions, garlic, pepper corns, radish) and let boil.

30-40 minutes in, remove giant chunk of radish. Cut into smaller, edible chunks.

Boil another 1-1.5 hours. Drain soup, remove bones and aromatics.

Slice rib meat and put back in. Add radish too.

Season accordingly and serve. Can also season after it goes in the bowl.

Notes:

10/12/2024:

Additional seasoning (including salt) added directly to the bowl rather than to the pot for fear of ruining the entire batch. Makes a lot.
