I finally made pork galbi jjim! I am blushing to say this though. It tasted lip-smackingly delicious! It was sweet but not too sweet, tender, juicy, and aromatic. 🙂 I am sure you will love this recipe as much as I am.
Galbi jjim (갈비찜) is one of the most famous Korean dishes and it is also commonly served during festive season (e.g. New Year’s Day).
And, I used my precious pressure rice cooker to make this, so it really made the cooking easy. If you have other types of pressure cooker, you can use those instead.
Anyway, hope you like my recipe!
