After making red beans n rice for the umpteenth time, I'm wondering, what's on your regular rotation

I "used" to have a rotation, back before Epicurious invaded my life.

I also used to have a waist.

Here's two ways; One is for beef, the other for spicy pork but I use them interchangeably.

Dwaeji Galbi/Kalbi (Korean-Style Ribs)
The first one is sweet and savory similar to a beef galbi marinade. The Other one is the traditional spicy pork marinade similar to that used in jeyuk bokkeum. It is slightly sweet with a lot of kick. The secret to tasty Korean pork ribs is to use lots of fresh garlic and ginger. Makes 2 whole slabs (5 -7 lbs) of baby back ribs.

SWEET AND SAVORY
½ cup SOY SAUCE
l cup WATER
¼ cup RICE WINE (or mirin)
2 Tbsp SESAME OIL
4 Tbsp HONEY
3 Tbsp BROWN SUGAR (preferably dark brown)
3 Tbsp minced GARLIC
2 Tbsp grated GINGER
½ MEDIUM ONION, grated
½ MEDIUM SWEET APPLE (Fuji, Gala, or Golden Delicious), grated
½ tsp BLACK PEPPER

SPICY
l cup KOREAN CHILI PEPPER PASTE (gochujang - adjust to your taste)
3 Tbsp SOY SAUCE
¼ cup RICE WINE (or mirin)
2 Tbsp SESAME OIL
4 Tbsp HONEY
2 Tbsp BROWN SUGAR (preferably dark brown)
3 Tbsp minced GARLIC
2 Tbsp grated GINGER
½ MEDIUM ONION, grated
½ MEDIUM SWEET APPLE (Fuji, Gala, or Golden Delicious), grated
½ tsp black pepper

Mix the ingredients well. Cut each slab of ribs into 2 pieces for easier handling. Rinse and drain. Marinate them for at least six hours (preferably overnight). Turn once during marinating time.

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange ribs, meat side down. Cover ribs tightly with foil. Bake 1½ hours. (30 more for fall off the bones tenderness). Remove the foil cover.

Finish off the ribs by one of the following two steps: 1) Broil 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the ribs are slightly charred and the sauce is caramelized. Baste sauce while broiling. 2) Grill over coals, 5-8 minutes on each side until slightly charred and the sauce is caramelized. Baste with sauce while grilling.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I can source the gochujang locally. Can you share a photo of the jar?

 
A woman after my own heart! Do you have a recipe for the tagliatelle with salmon and cream sauce?
