Galbitang or beef short rib soup is one of my favorite go to Korean comfort foods. Clear savory broth, tender meat, chewy noodles all paired with a bowl of optional rice make this a great eat during the winter months or if you’re looking for some comfort in your belly. While some recipes state that you can make a spicy version, I have yet to find a version where the spice adds to the flavor profile instead of detracting from it. Instead, if you’re looking for something spicy, pair your Galbitang with some kimchi.
Below are two links to recipes I’ve made at home in the past. Both provide great references for a beginner to make Galbitang and once you’ve tried them you can certainly make your own alterations to reach the flavor profile you like.
