🙏so sorry🙏
Today, I learn about Galbijjim.
What kind of image comes
to mind when you think of Galbijjim?
For me, I think of Galbijjim made with beaf,
but my wife thinks of it made with pork.
In recent years,
there has been an increase
in advertisements for spicy pork Galbijjim,
and the number of restaurants specializing
in this dish has also increased significantly.
However,
this trend seems to have slowed down recently.
So, which one is the original: pork or beef?
Today✨,
I'll gather information by roughly searching
on Google and Daum.
There are various origins,
but...
It seems more appropriate to trace
the origin of the galbijjim we eat today
back to Joseon Dynasty royal cuisine.
Korean cuisine is often associated
with spicy dishes, but interestingly,
the royal court-style galbijjim is a slightly sweet dish
based on soy sauce that is very popular.
After the end of the royal era in the Joseon dynasty,
chefs who worked at Sura-gan (royal court kitchen)
came out and started their own businesses,
and galbijjim, one of the royal court dishes,
became an opportunity to introduce it to the public.
In modern times,
most galbijjim products were based on beef
and soy sauce,
and it was a very luxurious dish,
making it difficult for the poor to access.
As a result,
galbi-jjim made with pork became increasingly popular,
especially those made with spicy spare ribs,
which are affordable and include
both spare ribs and pork belly,
making them a great popular.
While there are certainly soy sauce-based
pork galbi-jjim dishes,
it can be difficult to eliminate the distinct
pork smell without the use of specific ingredients.
As a result,
spicy seasoning became a cost-effective solution
for making pork galbi-jjim,
and it became associated with
the spicy version of the dish.
That's why when people think of spicy galbi-jjim,
they tend to think of the pork version.
I like both soy sauce beef short rib stew
and spicy pork short rib stew,
so I want to eat both ✨
Soy sauce braised beef short ribs vs Spicy braised pork spare ribs
Which dish do you prefer,
soy sauce braised beef short ribs
or spicy braised pork short ribs?
