Galbi [Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs]

People think I’m the kitchen wizard of our household. Not true. Continually, I have to correct that speculation. I cannot match my wife, Jean, in our household kitchen. She is the most amazing person I’ve ever cooked with. Not only does she cook, but she makes plant-based ferments (Kimchee Jeanius) as well. She is continually teaching me about Korean cuisine and cooking techniques. And given that March is my birthday month (I am turning 21🤭) I wanted to share her recipe, my favorite birthday meal, Galbi. This recipe encompasses two of my favorite items that Jeans makes: Galbi and Kimchee. Galbi (Galbi-Gui or grilled rib) is a type of gui in Korean cuisine. "Galbi" is the Korean word for "rib", and the dish is usually made with beef short ribs. When pork spareribs or another meat is used instead, the dish is named accordingly Kimchee, or Kimchi, a staple in Korean cuisine, is a traditional side dish of salted and fermented vegetables, such as napa cabbage and Korean radish, made with a widely varying selection of seasonings including gochugaru, spring onions, garlic, ginger, and jeotgal, etc. It is also used in a variety of soups
