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.
