“with stuff from my grocery store” is such an important part that gets lost in endless arguments about “authenticity”. You think folks around the world drive two hours out weekly to some specialty market so they can get the right ingredients for their culture’s food? No, a culture’s food is defined by the ingredients that are openly accessible!
Das K except that’s not the case anymore. People have been emigrating for a long, long time, and they’ve had to make due with the ingredients that were accessible to them. If you don’t like it, well, idk what to tell you. People move and bring their cultures with them, and maybe they change a bit. Get over it.
Das K to add to my comment: do only Chinese people live in china? Do only Italians live in Italy? Do Moroccans only live in Morocco? No. It’s a global world, and these people don’t magically fully integrate into the majority society of whatever nation they move to. They bring themselves, and by extension, their culture and whatever changes they have to make. Your argument makes no sense.
One thing I love about Adam is how he doesn't obsess over authenticity. The home cook will not be able to be completely authentic, so Adam just tries to approach the original recipe instead of replicating it. And on top of all he remains respectful of the original culture. As someone from a country where getting "exotic" ingredients is difficult if not impossible, Adam's recipes are the only ones I could actually make. Thank you Adam.
Even "authentic" recipes aren't authentic. There's tons of research on this. The availability of common place spices today were nonexistent 200 years ago. We also cook with 5x more garlic and capsaicin than chefs from that time period would have cooked with. This "authentic" shit is just that, shit. It's not real. Deal with it whiny Italians!
@@caglioso Italian food always has the biggest puritan twats fly out of the woodwork to comment on it. I love it when you get them fighting one another over the "auhenticity" of a dish, however.
Don't worry Adam, you get the seal of approval from us Koreans. It looks authentic and delicious! The way you prepare it (with water in the pan) is the exact same way that my mother prepares it at home. It works perfectly well if a grill is not available. The insides get cooked thoroughly while the outside has a little bit of buffer time to brown and caramelize in timely fashion instead of burning to a char early on and leaving the inside raw. Koreans don't normally use vinegar in galbi marinades, but we do crave that light, fresh acidity as well, so we complement it with side dishes like kimchi and pickled radish which helps counterbalance the sweet and oily galbi. :) As a final note, the best way to eat galbi is wrapped up in lettuce with a little bit of rice, some ssamjang (Korean spicy soybean paste), kimchi, and grilled slices of garlic. It's like flavortown blew up in your mouth. Sweet, savory, spicy, salty, tart... I highly recommend that you try it next time.
@@ryangoepfert9112 it's real. We even have a special refrigerator just for storing kimchi fresh. Nothing special, kimchi has always been casually a part of our everyday life. Almost every restaurant-regardless of what they serve-would immediately provide kimchi at your request. Hell, lots of them even have a self-serving kimchi bar full of various kinds of kimchi. I guess it could be a stereotype, but at least it's representetive to what kimchi is to us koreans.
As a Korean with a restaurant background, this is a very solid recipe. Deglazing with veggies to lift the marinade fond is a great idea; I've done the same with pearl onions and sake. As Adam mentioned in the video, there's quite a few variations on what is used in the marinade in terms of the sweet element. It's widely done with Asian pear but honestly, you should use what's in season i.e. apples, pears, even kiwis. I found that the biggest difference comes from the quality of your core ingredients, in this case soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and toasted sesame oil. Some are just better at making those than others but as he mentioned, use what you can find in your local markets.
In addition to being thinner, "LA style" is cut at a different angle, resulting in a very oblong cross section. This has led to some debate over whether it's called "LA" because it's popular in LA, or if it stands for "lateral angle". I think it's named after the place, but hey, mnemonic. In addition to adding surface area for the marinade, I think scoring also yields an overall more tender piece of meat, as the long muscle fibers are cut short. Asian pears are said to have an enzyme that breaks down protein and makes meat more tender. Not sure if it's in other varieties of "pear" fruit. Either way, if it's enzymatic action you're after, you'll want to avoid anything that has been cooked, as heat tends to destroy such enzymes. And that would mean no canned pears, because canned=cooked. I'm 100% down for any excuse to add chard to a plate.
Do you want to date me? Then I have to shatter your dreams: I am in a relationship with two hot women! They are also loyal subscribers of me, YT Megastar AxxL! Please don't cry, dear itsme
You sure about that brother? To me, he used way too small amount of garlic and it's quite disappointing. I mean, come on! It's South Korean food! Garlic should be at least twice amount than that.
Hey Adam, I really liked your video on one of my favorite comfort foods. I feel like this recipe is pretty accessible while staying true to the flavors/techniques that I've used. One addition I feel like you'd appreciate is I usually toss a whole bunch of chopped green onion in (any) vinegar, soy sauce, and a touch of sesame oil and korean pepper flake (any pepper flake will work) to get an acidic/lightly pickled onion garnish to balance out the rich and fatty meat. For me the pickled onion is an indispensable part of the dish so I hope you'll try it out next time you make this!
As a brit, this is a very specific academia accent. It's very very strong even given his assumed background. stephen fry has a more common version of this accent.
I've just made this recipe + introduced my family to galbi. upon finishing it they immediately said "we have to go get more". I thought it was going to be hard but it came out beautifully and it was super easy too! thank you, adam, for the recipe
I personally like to season the start of the universe so the sun gets seasoned so the cows grass get seasoned so the cow is seasoned, after that during the cooking process I like to let it slow cook in the sun for a million years got to really like that maximum flavor.
Here's your philosophical question: Who says that hasn't happened already? What if the universe was altered to add elements that make food more flavorful? It's not like there's an objective measure of flavor, right?
A great subsitute for asian pears is what I've heard referred to as "sand-pears". They're harder like you said and taste really good both raw and cooked down. Edit: Turns out sand pears are actually the same kind of Asian pears Adam was talking about, which is kinda odd considering that I live in rural Florida and there's tons of sand pear trees around the area where I live.
The thing I love about Adam is that he's a home cook, not a super fancy restaurant style cook. His recipes are a lot easier to adapt at home. Thanks for the recipe like usual Saint Adam.
We need more Korean-american fusion food in our world. The flavors and techniques go so well together. Even the most picky steak and potatoes people I've met have liked Korean food.
I cooked this tonight to great success . For anyone watching, Adam is the real deal. I've cooked about 5 of his recipes so far and each one has been really good, and relatively easy. And this is comparing it to several other youtubers whose recipes I've tried to far less consistent success.
The boiling down method in a shallow amount of water is a standard method in my Filipino family, and works great as a stove-only shorthand for slow cooking.
meep ? Bruh that’s like me saying “oh if you don’t have an English name, it’s doesn’t matter if I butcher your name and don’t learn to pronounce it correctly;” if you respect the culture, then you should learn the proper pronunciations
I think I would try to advise saying "gahlbih." Korean is often more ... cut off? (idk how to describe that) than English. English speakers will often round out the "a" and elongate the"i" in galbi so kind of becomes gawlbee. But if an English speaker were to read the word as if it's "gah + l + bih", I think the "h" kind of helps readers understand you gotta chop off the sound instead of elongating/continuing it. Idk if that made any sense but hahahaha
Have you ever tried to cook the stems from the rainbow chard? Usually I cook them for ~5 mins before I put in the greens and they come out nice and tender if you cut them into shorter pieces.
The way he explains this by step and shows errors is absolutely brilliant because I’ve messed up on omelets and stuff and thought I must be doing something wrong but he shows mishaps can happen and it’s nothing to worry about I love that not many cooking channels show mishaps 👍👍
Fun fact a lot of koreans refer it to LA gal bi. Because Los Angeles is where this dish originated from. Korean immigrants who lived in Usa didnt like the medium rare stake. We like our meat well done. So they adapted their way of cooking on meat that was really accessible to them. The result was laterally cut ribs with our style of cooking seasoned meat. Moral of the story?? Do whatever you want with your dish. This dish was a result of using whatever you had? And its great!
Not only is it unexpected and irrelevant, but it's very subtle. Generic UA-cam Stars(TM) would've cropped the camera to that knife and slowed/dubbed over the audio.
Just made this for dinner and turned out delicious, I always appreciate how few dishes his recipes make every other food youtuber seems to use the whole dang kitchen when making anything.
I am a South Korea-born South Korean who works in a Korean restaurant. The only real differences between your recipe and ours is we leave the short ribs in the marinade and cook them with it on like a sauce so it's not as concentrated as yours, we cook it straight in oil on a flattop to form a little crust right before the sugar burns, and also we use Sprite haha. Authenticity is fluid and everyone's recipe is going to be slightly different, so yours is no disgrace by any means. (PS no one else I know really does this but if you wanna make some use of that fond, deglaze with a little soy sauce and mirin and throw some cubed tofu into the mix. Fry up until crisp, a little sesame oil on top, some green onion garnish, very nice.)
I now know how beef short ribs are prepared, it's all about the flaps! Beef short rib is also one of my favorite dishes to order, can't wait to try it myself at home! 😊
loving your (first?) non-western recipes adam -- your research and respect for a uniquely korean-american cuisine is not unnoticed, and i love your little creative fusion chard + fond stir-fry at the end, which i've never seen in any asian cuisine, keep it up !!!
Hey Adam, what I heard from Korean friends is that Asian pear in particular has enzymes that break down and tenderize the meat. Normal pears might taste similar but I'm not sure they have the same enzymes. Have you tested a side by side comparison? Also a bit of papaya or kiwi mush in the marinate might do the trick if they are different.
What I love about flanken cut short ribs is when you go thin about 1/4 inch marinate and grill on high heat to medium doneness. Now you have a great flavored beef that is pretty tender with a nice chew. No need to braise it. The best cut, besides ribeye!👍😁
I've been subscribed to this channel for a year and I've loved your videos and see your set up change over time. You're a home cook we can all connect with. Great job 👍
Adam if you love germanic food, i think you should look into making danish Flæskesteg (a pork roast with crispy crackling on top.) it is traditionelly eaten at christmas, but we also enjoy it the rest of the year. there are also frikadeller which are like swedish meatballs but a little bigger and in my opinion better. (they also come in fish versions called Fiskefrikadeller)
In this aspect, you have to balance all the sugar and sweetness from the pear. You should try Bon Appetit's vinegar braised chicken, it's delicious. But truth be told, I don't like a lot of sweetness in my dishes. Like, BBQ sauce is too sweet for me...
Tip for peeling ginger: use your thumbnail under some water. It comes off super easily. Use a spoon to scrape it off if you don't want to use your nail, but honestly using a (neatly trimmed) thumbnail is easiest. I also always do this after I peel and/or dice garlic; the ginger removes the garlic-y smell from your fingers as you scrape the skin off with your nail.
Nice to see you branching out and leaning on the community, Adam - your style of bringing fancy recipes into the home kitchen is applicable to way more than just Italian-American. Great work, as always!
i don't think you've ever had a creme brulee with burnt sugar. nobody in the world would ever serve a creme brulee with burnt sugar. it's careful cooked until it's caramelized without burning. otherwise it'd taste pretty awful, i know i've tried to make candy. burnt sugar is disgusting.
@@BloodSprite-tan in his creme brulee video he talks about how brulee means burned and the contrast between the sweet custard and Burnt sugar, even the caramel color creme brulee tastes burnt.
Korean American here. My mom used to make this a lot growing up, and while there are subtle differences in the way she makes it and they way you did, it's mostly based on what we had and what you have available. One thing we did different was throw onions and whole garlic cloves (in addition to the garlic you used) to let them soak up the marinade and cook those up rather than the greens you used. Caramelized onion and garlic in that marinade are amazing
As a Korean (I mean Korean Korean not Korean American) it's pretty awesome. Galbi(갈비) means ribs in general but in this context it means marinated ribs. It's Galbi gooey(갈비 구이) which means grilled and there's Galbi jjeam (갈비찜) which means steamed. And surprisingly steamed galbi tastes very similar Adam's short rib when you cook it with red wine rather than white wine.
Just a little hint: if you flip the meat like you do, your cuts should keep the same orientation (bottom right to top left). After the flip the back side is mirrored top to bottom which will get it diagonal cuts from bottom left to top right , if you view it from the front side. Other than that, great video.
Flanken cut is what we call in Argentina as asado, this cut is the king of any asado (same word for the meat cut and the cooking technique). Extremely tender meat and the bone attached to it gives an amazing flavor. The asado cooking technique is very similar to your video "flavor the butter not my steak", you never have an open flame and the charcoal has to be white hot at the moment you put the meat down to the grill. Try grilling that cut, has an amazing flavor when grilled on natural charcoal.
Hey Adam, this is just an idea, but i recommend you try making "gołąbki", a yummy polish dish! Its basically meat wrapped in salad. You can do any polish dish - bigos, soup, schabowe - like I said, anything, and they're all really good and easy to make.
Adam: *pronounces Kal-bee* Me: actually it's more of a slight G at the beginning, like Gkal-bee Adam: "if you want authentic, go find someone that can pronounce 'Kalbi'" Me: ...fair enough.
Charcoal grill or bust. The smoky flavor is what finishes galbi. If you are worried about charrig the grill, putting a layer of tinfoil on the grill or pan helps the cooking be a bit easier for cleanup. Also i think you might want to look into different variants of soy sauce. The kikkoman brand imo lacks a bit of depth and is saltier than the ones that koreans would use. There are 3 variants that I know of which is 양조간장(good for sauces), 진간장(Good for marinades), 국간장.(Good for soup). While the initial flavor of soysauce is there, the different levels of acidity and sweetness can really prove a difference.
Asian pear has enzymes that tenderize the meat, the pear you used has not. You can use kiwi instead. (tropical fruits like pineapple will give a non traditional flavour)
Im a korean person, when I eat this dish I usually have rice lettuce and gochujang. I'll put rice in the lettuce add the meat, and put a little gochujang on it. Its very good I strongly recomend trying it!
Hey Adam since you just posted this you might see this I love your recipes. They are simple and really delicious. Thank you and keep on making recipes.
As a Korean, I can say Galbi is pronounced like CAL-ifornia, not CALL-ifornia. Other than that, super glad to see this on your channel really made my day :)
Hey Adam. I've lived my entire life as a Korean under Korean parents(I'm legally Americam but that's a story for another day). Here is what my mother had to say. 1. Don't put vinegar in the marinade. Ideally, the marinade should be a mixture of soysauce, sugar, and some kind of liquid like water or soda(pepsi or sprite) in a 1 : 1 : 1 ration. Some added Soju would be nice too. DON'T PUT VINEGAR. She was absolutely appalled by that lol. 2. Do not put sesame oil into the food processor, it gets all over the machine and is hard to clean(though my parents does not use one. She just chops them herself). Put the oil on the meat and pour the marinade on top. 3. After the marinade is all ground up, use a fine mesh sieve to get all the solids out. Squeeze whatever is onthe sieve to get their juices out into the marinade. 4. Instead pouring water when cooking the Galbi, use the left over marinade liquid. Using my mothers one to one to one ration, you should plenty of liquid left to prevent it from burning. She also wanted me to ask why you would put salt when cooling rice. Genuine question. Finally, she was suprised that you used the fond to flavor the veges. Normally we eat vegetables raw. If we use fond, we would use it to fry whatevwr rice we had. And that's all my mother said. If there wasn't any vinegar she said she would have digged in it without hesitationm
The reason some people - including a lot of Korean people! - use lemon-lime sodas is that it's pretty much just water and sugar, and you often want to thin out your mix anyway. You see this sometimes with the gochujang-based sauce you use for bibimbap - pure gochujang is much too thick, but dilute it with equal parts lemon-lime soda and you end up with something suitable for a squeeze bottle. Also: "carl-bee" is a better approximation to how to pronounce 갈비.
The reason Korean’s use the Asian pear is for its tenderizing properties. Western pears don’t have that particular enzyme. Many recommend using the kiwi if you don’t have access to Asian pears. During a 3 month tour in S Korea when I was in the USAF, during the early 90s, I ate this stuff almost everyday. It’s delicious 😋
I enjoy making food that suits my taste, I get to make some of my favorite foods aimed right to my pallet, I appreciate you pointing out why you do it different so I know how to adapt it to my tastes as well as the food science to go along with it so I don't mess up. Your videos are incredibly informative without feeling dense and I walk away with a delicious recipe to try. Thanks for all you do.
That 'just a bit of water' method is something I learned while researching how to make Filipino recipes. Longganisa is delicious, but for my Caribbean-Canadian tongue even the 'spicy' version of the sausages I can buy taste super sweet!
I'm korean and I would say that you did well. The problem with "Galbi" is just that There's no problem, but you do have to be careful how you cut and cook, overall a great dish, A classic korean meal at korean bbq
There are also galbi recipes that emphasize more on braising (galbi-jjim). They are similar to the saucy braised short rib that Adam uploaded earlier but with more vegetables.
From the thumbnail I thought Adam made some kkaennip to go with the kalbi. That would’ve blown my mind. Adam, you are the people’s champ. No cooking show is as realistic for the home chef as yours is.
Good idea for easier butterflying, cut it while it's half or three quarters frozen, makes for easier cutting since the meat fibers don't move along with the knife. The process is seen in Worth it's KBBQ Rib episode where the hanwoo is seen being butterflied while it's still very solid.

meep ? Bruh that’s like me saying “oh if you don’t have an English name, it’s doesn’t matter if I butcher your name and don’t learn to pronounce it correctly;” if you respect the culture, then you should learn the proper pronunciations
I think I would try to advise saying "gahlbih." Korean is often more ... cut off? (idk how to describe that) than English. English speakers will often round out the "a" and elongate the"i" in galbi so kind of becomes gawlbee. But if an English speaker were to read the word as if it's "gah + l + bih", I think the "h" kind of helps readers understand you gotta chop off the sound instead of elongating/continuing it.
Idk if that made any sense but hahahaha
Howard Young that’s a completely foreign pronunciation to me, there’s an “L” in 갈비 unless you meant to put an L instead of an i in your comment
meep ?
Pronunciation doesn’t matter? What?
Have you ever tried to cook the stems from the rainbow chard?
Usually I cook them for ~5 mins before I put in the greens and they come out nice and tender if you cut them into shorter pieces.
Hi Adam, I'm from a gyopo family (Koreans outside of Korea) and it's really lovely to see you enjoy and share a Korean dish.
The way he explains this by step and shows errors is absolutely brilliant because I’ve messed up on omelets and stuff and thought I must be doing something wrong but he shows mishaps can happen and it’s nothing to worry about I love that not many cooking channels show mishaps 👍👍
I think the video skipped to the next as I was commenting sorry this comment was for your potato omelet things
Fun fact a lot of koreans refer it to LA gal bi. Because Los Angeles is where this dish originated from.
Korean immigrants who lived in Usa didnt like the medium rare stake. We like our meat well done.
So they adapted their way of cooking on meat that was really accessible to them. The result was laterally cut ribs with our style of cooking seasoned meat.
Moral of the story?? Do whatever you want with your dish. This dish was a result of using whatever you had? And its great!
3:10 That bye made me laugh so hard for some reason lol
Not only is it unexpected and irrelevant, but it's very subtle. Generic UA-cam Stars(TM) would've cropped the camera to that knife and slowed/dubbed over the audio.
Metabloxer Yes. Adam did it better an funnier
Just made this for dinner and turned out delicious, I always appreciate how few dishes his recipes make every other food youtuber seems to use the whole dang kitchen when making anything.
3:21 anyone notice by flipping it over and cutting perpendicularly he ends up cutting it in parallel?
lmao noticed that too
I think this is your first or one of your first Asian cuisine recipes. I like that diversity in your content
Adam: *Flattens ribs*
Knife: *It was time for Thomas to leave, he had seen everything*
I am a South Korea-born South Korean who works in a Korean restaurant. The only real differences between your recipe and ours is we leave the short ribs in the marinade and cook them with it on like a sauce so it's not as concentrated as yours, we cook it straight in oil on a flattop to form a little crust right before the sugar burns, and also we use Sprite haha. Authenticity is fluid and everyone's recipe is going to be slightly different, so yours is no disgrace by any means.
(PS no one else I know really does this but if you wanna make some use of that fond, deglaze with a little soy sauce and mirin and throw some cubed tofu into the mix. Fry up until crisp, a little sesame oil on top, some green onion garnish, very nice.)
I now know how beef short ribs are prepared, it's all about the flaps! Beef short rib is also one of my favorite dishes to order, can't wait to try it myself at home! 😊
loving your (first?) non-western recipes adam -- your research and respect for a uniquely korean-american cuisine is not unnoticed, and i love your little creative fusion chard + fond stir-fry at the end, which i've never seen in any asian cuisine, keep it up !!!
Hey Adam, what I heard from Korean friends is that Asian pear in particular has enzymes that break down and tenderize the meat. Normal pears might taste similar but I'm not sure they have the same enzymes.
Have you tested a side by side comparison? Also a bit of papaya or kiwi mush in the marinate might do the trick if they are different.
What I love about flanken cut short ribs is when you go thin about 1/4 inch marinate and grill on high heat to medium doneness. Now you have a great flavored beef that is pretty tender with a nice chew. No need to braise it. The best cut, besides ribeye!👍😁
Bro I started cooking because of you now I’m going to cullinery college in a couple of moths thanks so much you were my inspiration for so long
I might rethink that frankly and this is coming from someone who worked in the restaurant industry
I've been subscribed to this channel for a year and I've loved your videos and see your set up change over time. You're a home cook we can all connect with. Great job 👍
Adam if you love germanic food, i think you should look into making danish Flæskesteg (a pork roast with crispy crackling on top.) it is traditionelly eaten at christmas, but we also enjoy it the rest of the year. there are also frikadeller which are like swedish meatballs but a little bigger and in my opinion better. (they also come in fish versions called Fiskefrikadeller)
Adam Ragusea drinking straight sulfuric acid:
"Hmm, quite delicious, but I think I would like it more sour."
Time to mix in HF and magic acid for that extra zing!
In this aspect, you have to balance all the sugar and sweetness from the pear. You should try Bon Appetit's vinegar braised chicken, it's delicious.
But truth be told, I don't like a lot of sweetness in my dishes. Like, BBQ sauce is too sweet for me...
“I’m gonna add a little balsamic vinegar”
@@whoisthispersonagain "and the juice of half a lemon. Actually, nevermind, the whole lemon."
fun fact: sulfuric acid is already quite sour
Tip for peeling ginger: use your thumbnail under some water. It comes off super easily. Use a spoon to scrape it off if you don't want to use your nail, but honestly using a (neatly trimmed) thumbnail is easiest. I also always do this after I peel and/or dice garlic; the ginger removes the garlic-y smell from your fingers as you scrape the skin off with your nail.
As a Korean, that looks AMAZING.
Same here, I like to put coca cola in mine 😉 secret ingredient
My mom likes to put sprite 👍 so good
@@itssamantha217 my mom makes some coca cola wings, pretty good
Nice to see you branching out and leaning on the community, Adam - your style of bringing fancy recipes into the home kitchen is applicable to way more than just Italian-American. Great work, as always!
To draw blood from the bone marrow, put it in a bowl with salt water. This will suck out watery blood.
Hey, Adam, thank you brutal honest opinion. Your channel is only cooking channel that seems to tell honest and make most of home cooking.
"burnt sugar is not a flavor I'm into" meanwhile, "I love creme brulee"
Creme brulee is more so toasted sugar, like marshmallows, you might not like black ones but you might like brown ones.
Creme brulee is caramelized not really burnt
i don't think you've ever had a creme brulee with burnt sugar.
nobody in the world would ever serve a creme brulee with burnt sugar. it's careful cooked until it's caramelized without burning. otherwise it'd taste pretty awful, i know i've tried to make candy. burnt sugar is disgusting.
@@BloodSprite-tan in his creme brulee video he talks about how brulee means burned and the contrast between the sweet custard and Burnt sugar, even the caramel color creme brulee tastes burnt.
Nah, that's more toasted. Burnt is black charred, creme brulee is caramelized, but I get your joke
Korean American here. My mom used to make this a lot growing up, and while there are subtle differences in the way she makes it and they way you did, it's mostly based on what we had and what you have available. One thing we did different was throw onions and whole garlic cloves (in addition to the garlic you used) to let them soak up the marinade and cook those up rather than the greens you used. Caramelized onion and garlic in that marinade are amazing
we love binge watching food videos at 3am when you’re hungry af
As a Korean (I mean Korean Korean not Korean American) it's pretty awesome. Galbi(갈비) means ribs in general but in this context it means marinated ribs. It's Galbi gooey(갈비 구이) which means grilled and there's Galbi jjeam (갈비찜) which means steamed. And surprisingly steamed galbi tastes very similar Adam's short rib when you cook it with red wine rather than white wine.
This is your white wine report:
There was no mention of white wine in this video.
This has been your white wine report.
Thank you
Thank you
*FAKE NEWS.* Technically, Mirin contains white (rice) wine.
@@SuzanneBaruch ha, guess the news isn't 100 percent accurate
Oh ok
is no one talking about the SOUND in this video , its fantastic , Its in Stereo , PUT ON headphones . Thanks adam , great work
Im korean and I have to say that what you've made is quality
You haven't even had enough time to watch the video
Lmao u haven’t even watched the whole video yet smh
People in these comments apparently don’t know that the dish was shown complete in the beginning
@@a.h.tvideomapping4293 yes, but you can't say something is quality just by how it looks
Haven’t found Dad yet ehem sure it looks good but u can’t judge a quality dish just by looks
Just a little hint: if you flip the meat like you do, your cuts should keep the same orientation (bottom right to top left). After the flip the back side is mirrored top to bottom which will get it diagonal cuts from bottom left to top right , if you view it from the front side. Other than that, great video.
The virgin multiple cuts versus the Chad 2 cuts and ME SMASH
Flanken cut is what we call in Argentina as asado, this cut is the king of any asado (same word for the meat cut and the cooking technique). Extremely tender meat and the bone attached to it gives an amazing flavor.
The asado cooking technique is very similar to your video "flavor the butter not my steak", you never have an open flame and the charcoal has to be white hot at the moment you put the meat down to the grill. Try grilling that cut, has an amazing flavor when grilled on natural charcoal.
Hey Adam, this is just an idea, but i recommend you try making "gołąbki", a yummy polish dish! Its basically meat wrapped in salad. You can do any polish dish - bigos, soup, schabowe - like I said, anything, and they're all really good and easy to make.
Just had a thought regarding gowabki: Making them with squab (almost-fledged pigeons) would be the most fitting variation ever.
I love adams videos because he makes it so easy for people at home
Adam: *pronounces Kal-bee*
Me: actually it's more of a slight G at the beginning, like Gkal-bee
Adam: "if you want authentic, go find someone that can pronounce 'Kalbi'"
Me: ...fair enough.
He knew he wasn't gonna pronounce it right, so he had also kept it in the introduction.
Charcoal grill or bust. The smoky flavor is what finishes galbi. If you are worried about charrig the grill, putting a layer of tinfoil on the grill or pan helps the cooking be a bit easier for cleanup.
Also i think you might want to look into different variants of soy sauce. The kikkoman brand imo lacks a bit of depth and is saltier than the ones that koreans would use. There are 3 variants that I know of which is 양조간장(good for sauces), 진간장(Good for marinades), 국간장.(Good for soup). While the initial flavor of soysauce is there, the different levels of acidity and sweetness can really prove a difference.
Asian pear has enzymes that tenderize the meat, the pear you used has not. You can use kiwi instead. (tropical fruits like pineapple will give a non traditional flavour)
What kinds of stuff do you do to make sure your recipes are authentic-ish? You do a really good job
Uncle roger: "Y U no use finger in making rice?!"
at least there were no strainers
@@khoatran-pc6tb In his video about arsenic in rice he actually mentions the "pasta style" method of rice cooking lol
khoa tran don’t give me ptsd
I teach you how to make *r i c e*
Im a korean person, when I eat this dish I usually have rice lettuce and gochujang. I'll put rice in the lettuce add the meat, and put a little gochujang on it. Its very good I strongly recomend trying it!
So it becomes a galbi-ssam, I guess!
Hey Adam! Can you do a video on about making fruit cobblers?
please!!!
You’re first!
And maybe talk about why there two types of cobbler. Some look like big pies and some look like fruit covered with cornbread.
Fruit cobblers and Middle eastern food are the two things I want Adam to make soon.
That first cut of rib is usually used to make, in my opinion, the more superior 갈비찜. More ingredient-heavy, but the taste and texture are amazing.
Hey Adam since you just posted this you might see this
I love your recipes. They are simple and really delicious. Thank you and keep on making recipes.
As a Korean, I can say Galbi is pronounced like CAL-ifornia, not CALL-ifornia. Other than that, super glad to see this on your channel really made my day :)
Hey Adam. I've lived my entire life as a Korean under Korean parents(I'm legally Americam but that's a story for another day).
Here is what my mother had to say.
1. Don't put vinegar in the marinade. Ideally, the marinade should be a mixture of soysauce, sugar, and some kind of liquid like water or soda(pepsi or sprite) in a 1 : 1 : 1 ration. Some added Soju would be nice too. DON'T PUT VINEGAR. She was absolutely appalled by that lol.
2. Do not put sesame oil into the food processor, it gets all over the machine and is hard to clean(though my parents does not use one. She just chops them herself). Put the oil on the meat and pour the marinade on top.
3. After the marinade is all ground up, use a fine mesh sieve to get all the solids out. Squeeze whatever is onthe sieve to get their juices out into the marinade.
4. Instead pouring water when cooking the Galbi, use the left over marinade liquid. Using my mothers one to one to one ration, you should plenty of liquid left to prevent it from burning.
She also wanted me to ask why you would put salt when cooling rice. Genuine question.
Finally, she was suprised that you used the fond to flavor the veges. Normally we eat vegetables raw. If we use fond, we would use it to fry whatevwr rice we had.
And that's all my mother said. If there wasn't any vinegar she said she would have digged in it without hesitationm
The reason some people - including a lot of Korean people! - use lemon-lime sodas is that it's pretty much just water and sugar, and you often want to thin out your mix anyway. You see this sometimes with the gochujang-based sauce you use for bibimbap - pure gochujang is much too thick, but dilute it with equal parts lemon-lime soda and you end up with something suitable for a squeeze bottle.
Also: "carl-bee" is a better approximation to how to pronounce 갈비.
3:57 Man, just shoot me if I had a voice like that. It's literally like someone is doing a parody of a *very* hoity-toity posh brit
I just love how you go straight to the point and dont waste time doing some bullshit stuff like every other food youtuber does. thank you for that.
The reason Korean’s use the Asian pear is for its tenderizing properties. Western pears don’t have that particular enzyme. Many recommend using the kiwi if you don’t have access to Asian pears. During a 3 month tour in S Korea when I was in the USAF, during the early 90s, I ate this stuff almost everyday. It’s delicious 😋
I enjoy making food that suits my taste, I get to make some of my favorite foods aimed right to my pallet, I appreciate you pointing out why you do it different so I know how to adapt it to my tastes as well as the food science to go along with it so I don't mess up. Your videos are incredibly informative without feeling dense and I walk away with a delicious recipe to try. Thanks for all you do.
theres another way adam. its called chopsticks
nah FINGERS
fingers are better when eating galbi
Just showed this to my 65 year old mom and she approves - especially reusing the fond with cooking veggies in the pan to add to the banchan!
5:14 - "you can use all kinds of fruits" *takes DURIAN*
No no no no, please don't. I beg you

That 'just a bit of water' method is something I learned while researching how to make Filipino recipes. Longganisa is delicious, but for my Caribbean-Canadian tongue even the 'spicy' version of the sausages I can buy taste super sweet!
I'm korean and I would say that you did well. The problem with "Galbi" is just that
There's no problem, but you do have to be careful how you cut and cook, overall a great dish,

Good idea for easier butterflying, cut it while it's half or three quarters frozen, makes for easier cutting since the meat fibers don't move along with the knife.
The process is seen in Worth it's KBBQ Rib episode where the hanwoo is seen being butterflied while it's still very solid.
I'm surprised you don't have a rice cooker
I think it’s because of counter space, not cost or anything else
I’m literally dying from cancer and this is really keeping me entertained. Thanks.
