Cheese Tteokgalbi: A Delicious Party Food
Hi everybody! Today, let's make delicious party food with beef short ribs! The dish name is Cheese tteokgalbi. Tteokgalbi means beef ribs, and tteok, tteok is, you know that? Rice cake! So why it's called tteokgalbi, even though we don't add tteok rice cake here? Because the way of making this dish is just like when I make rice cake. Mince, and pound, and make a shape. It looks like the way you make rice cake. That's why it's called tteokgalbi.
I posted a traditional tteokgalbi recipe a few years ago, but today is a little modernized. A simpler way, and adding cheese! Everybody loves cheese these days. Gooey cheese, and sizzling tteokgalbi. It will be a really delicious side dish.
First, I will just put this guy in the refrigerator. And then, let's make marinade! This is my food processor. I will just grind all, everything and make a puree. Let's start with Korean pear. Good looking pear, right? I will add half, and we gotta peel it. (peeling sounds) So core this way. Pear is very juicy.
Onion, and ginger, and garlic. Onion, ginger, garlic. It's a medium size, half of onion. Make it chunks, and garlic, eight cloves of garlic. Ginger, around two teaspoon amount. I just peeled it. Peeled ginger. Let's puree! (food processor whirring) (lid opening) (scraping) I will use this food processor again when I mince my meat.
Usually the traditional way is to mince with a real knife. Really big knife. I did it the traditional way, in my tteokgalbi recipe. But today is just, let's make my life a little easier. And then I will use this food processor. But still, without a food processor, you can make it at home.
I will just add one tablespoon sugar, and quarter cup soy sauce. This is a dark soy sauce. A little sweet. Quarter cup. Rice syrup. So quarter cup. (scraping) And one teaspoon ground black pepper. Ooh, last touch! Sesame oil, two tablespoons. (stirring) And just mix. Dark golden brown color. Yummy, yummy liquid. We made this. (stirring)
I bought beef short ribs. I needed two pounds of meat. So this is two and half pounds, including bones. So when I remove the bones, it will be around two pounds. If you use only ground beef, just use two pounds. Let's wash with cold water, nicely. (water running) (thumping noises) (water pouring) Drain the water.
I'm boiling water. I have reason why I'm boiling. You will see. (beeping sound) Now let's mince our garlic and ginger again. Mince is very important for tteokgalbi. Let's add it back to our marinade. Now we can mix everything together, including our minced beef short ribs. (mixing sounds)
Now that we have our marinated meat ready, let's cook it! We need to brown our meat first. This will help bring out the flavor of our dish. (cooking sounds) Once our meat is browned, we can add more marinade and simmer it until the sauce thickens. Let's stir-fry everything together.
While our tteokgalbi is cooking, let's make the cheesy topping! We need one pound mozzarella cheese. I'll put this in the oven. (oven door closing) Preheat my broiler. Now we can cook our mozzarella cheese until it's all melted and bubbly.
Now that our cheesy topping is ready, let's use a Korean traditional way of decoration, the garnish! With sesame seeds, and chopped green onion. And also this is shredded dried red pepper, called silgochu. Dried red pepper, sliced thinly. Now, I'm waiting for my tteokgalbi cheese to be well melted.
After melting my cheese, I'm going to use a Korean traditional way of decoration, the garnish. With sesame seeds, and chopped green onion. And also this is shredded dried red pepper. Dried red pepper, sliced thinly. Now I'm ready! (sizzling sound)
And you can scoop it up with spoon, and just eat with rice. Rice and kimchi. (blowing) Slurping sounds. Mm, oh my, delicious! Sweet, and juicy, and succulent! Yummy!
