Pickled moo #1 - Korean pickled radish and carrot

Moo chae (무채) is a Korean side dish made from moo (무), a Korean radish similar to daikon.  Moo chae may be spicy (like kimchi) or it may be sweet and sour.  This recipe is for the sweet and sour kind and includes carrots.

Galbi Jjim (갈비찜) - braised beef short ribs

Galbi Jjim (갈비찜) is a traditional Korean dish whose name translates literally as "steamed ribs" (갈비 = ribs, 찜 = steamed).  More accurately, galbi jjim is ribs (usually beef short ribs) cooked in a braising liquid that includes soy sauce, water, and sugar.  Garlic, ginger, pepper, and sesame oil may also be added.  The dish may also include one or more of the following: potatoes (or korean radish or 무), carrots, chestnuts, mushrooms, jujube, and ginkgo nuts.  Variations include spicy galbi jjim (매운갈비찜) as well as pork galbi jjim (돼지갈비찜).

My recipe keeps things pretty simple.
