Korean BBQ Rib - Kalbi

Ingredients

2 - 4 lbs of kalbi meat (korean bbq ribs)
1 cup water
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon of garlic
1 teaspoon of ginger
2 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon of sesame seed
1/2 cup of chopped up green onions


Instructions

1. In hot water, melt the sugar, and then add the soy sauce to it.
2. Let above 1 cool down to a room temperature.
3. Mix rest of the marinade ingredients together in the cooled down mixture from 1.
4. When you taste the marinade, it should be a little strong (too salty and too sweet at the same time). This is the perfect concentration, as the meat will add it's own moisture to it, and soften the taste.
5. Mix the meat and the marinade sauce, and let it sit in the fridge overnight.


It's perfectly fine to have extra marinade for the meat when marinating. It won't overpower the taste if you have meat sitting in extra marinade.

If you want to save some marinade sauce, use just enough to soak the meat to the top and save any left over in the fridge or freezer. Saved marinade can be used to marinate the meat later.

Any extras marinated kalbi can be frozen in ziploc bag and kept in the freezer. When ready to eat, defrost it for several hours and then grill it.

Bon appetit!
