HOW TO COOK GALBITANG (KALBITANG RECIPE)

HOW TO COOK GALBITANG (KALBITANG RECIPE) -Galbitang or Kalbitang is a Korean soup with many variations which are made from beef short ribs. Onions and Daikons are the primary ingredients for this dish. Its name derived from Korean terms 'galbi' which means short ribs and 'tang' means stew. The technique in cooking this dish is slow cooking for a longer period of time that gives the dish a tasty soup and also makes the beef tender. In Korea, Galbitang is commonly served as main course, also served with rice and some grilled fish. Someone told me that Galbitang used to be a very fancy dish in 17th century that only the member of royal families could afford and eat. In Korea, this food is also served in many family occasions such as baptismal, wedding, birthdays and even family reunions. This dish is also commonly cooked with some noodles and vegetables like radish. I have seen many versions of this dish like from clear soup to ones with soy sauce in it. Galbitang is also one of the perfect foods to be eaten during winter and rainy season because the hot soup gives our body warmth. If you are a hot and spicy dish lover, then i suggest that you add some spicy ingredients to your Galbitang but you don't want it to be like that if there is little kid you expect to eat your Galbitang. As always, you can improve my recipe according to your taste and preference. Here is the recipe:
