About Kalbijjim

Kalbijjim, or Korean braised short ribs, is a slow-cooked dish originating from Korean cuisine, often enjoyed during special occasions or festive meals. The main ingredient, beef short ribs, is simmered until tender in a savory soy sauce-based marinade blended with garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, and other seasonings. Common additions include carrots, radishes, chestnuts, and jujubes, which enrich the dish with nutrients and natural sweetness. Kalbijjim is a protein-rich dish thanks to the beef, but it can also be high in fat due to the marbling of the meat. The addition of vegetables enhances its fiber and vitamin content, while the careful balance of flavors reduces reliance on excess sodium or artificial additives. It is often served with rice, making it a hearty, fulfilling meal. However, portion control is key for those mindful of calorie and fat intake.
