korean-braised-short-ribs-(galbi-jjim)

Daeho is one of the most popular local restaurants in the Bay Area for galbi-jjim, and it’ll run you about $100 after tip and the mozzarella tax, iykyk. And I assume that’s roughly how much it would cost at other Korean restaurants today. I love this dish because it’s so hearty and comforting, but my wallet sheds a tear every time. So I wondered how well one could make it at home, and I was surprised to learn that it’s not only incredibly simple, but also massively cheaper. About $65 cheaper (adjusted for the same portions, etc etc). Honestly, I felt slightly cheated when I discovered how close the results came to restaurant quality given the simple ingredients and preparation.
