Korean Short Ribs and Spicy Pork Ribs

So, today I begin my journey documenting my experiments in the kitchen and my love for food. Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with my friend Julie in the kitchen preparing food. She is a fantastic cook! She learned how to cook from her mother who can make the most simple recipes taste quite fancy. We spent the afternoon preparing the short ribs and the pork ribs while talking and catching up on life.

I love being in the kitchen because it is a symbol of the family. It is where everyone gathers for celebration, for comfort, and for fellowship. It is the center of a household. So sharing the kitchen with friends is quite an honor, which is what I aim to bring to you. On a suggestion of my other dear friends Lissa and Annie, I'm bringing the food that's on my table to your computer. I hope you enjoy this journey and maybe even get a little inspiration!

So for tonight, we have the delish Korean short-ribs, spicy pork ribs, steamed rice, and asparagus :-)  Easy to make, and amazing to taste! The recipe for the ribs is from Julie. 

Short-Ribs:

1lb        Beef Short Ribs

1/2c      Soy sauce

1/2c      Sesame Seed Oil

1/4c      Crushed Seasame Seed

1/4c      Minced Onion

3tbs      Ground Garlic

1/2c     Brown Sugar

1/4c     White Sugar

Pepper to taste 

Wash ribs and pat dry

Combine soy sauce, sesame seed oil, sesame seed, garlic, onion, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, white sugar and pepper in a large bowl. (For spicy ribs add red pepper paste to taste). Rub meat with remaining brown sugar to begin crystallization. Add meat to marinade. 

Place ribs on a cookie sheet and broil until done (approx. 10 min each side for pork, 7 min total for beef).

Make sides and enjoy!

In my own words while eating....mmhhhh mmmhhhh mmmmhhhh! Delish! If you are looking for something that is relatively easy to make and packs a big taste, this is it! Nothing like a happy stomach!
