Kalbi

· 🌡️ 80°F

Tonight for dinner I made Kalbi. All modesty aside it was absolutely delicious. I got most of the ingredients from Sung's Oriental Grocery on Niagara Falls Blvd (between Sheridan and Main). It's a well-stocked Korean Grocery with plenty of hard to find items. The owners are also very pleasant and helpful. Maybe worth an @tinypliny review.

Ok so I suppose I should be fair and critique my own cooking. The garlic I cooked with it sucked. But I stopped using it after the first piece of lettuce. It was the first time I have tried to make it, however I've seen it done literally, thousands of times. Fortunately I made way too much so I guess its Kalbi again for lunch tomorrow.

    I love that grocery store. Just wish I was up that way more often to justify going there.

    I agree, Sungs is great. I just thought earlier today that I need to make my way out there to pick up a few things. Dinner looks yummy, btw!

    1: what is kalbi? (looks yummy)
    2: why do you know how to cook all this non-white-boy food?! (that is a compliment)

    1)Kalbi is beef short rib Korean BBQ. Its made in a fruit based marinade. Served with leaf lettuce and any one of numerous sauces either doengjang, ko choo, or a mixture of the two ssamjang. You take the lettuce and and all ingrediants and make (for lack of a better term) a Korean fajita.

    2)I think because I get sick of eating the white-boy stuff all the time. So I try to figure out how on earth to make what I already like to eat.

    Nice-looking dinner. Not up my alley, though. :)

    I guess the store that is being sung about is not exactly walking/biking distance from downtown, is it?

    Mmmm... That looks good. I won't tell you what I ate last night (yesterday was clean out the fridge day). I can't wait until Thanksgiving. I wonder what we'll come up with to cook for that. Hmmm...
