Grilled Galbi Recipe FAQ
Are there any substitutions?
I haven’t tested this recipe with any substitutions, but marinades are usually pretty forgiving. If you want it less sweet, reduce the brown sugar a bit. If you want it more spicy, add some more gochujang or some Korean chili pepper threads.
How should you store the leftovers?
Store these in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
How do you reheat the leftovers?
Personally, while you can get a decent recent in the microwave with these, I’d actually recommend tossing them back on the grill or heating in a pan on the stovetop with a little oil. You’ll be able to better control the final result without overcooking.
What’s the best side dish to serve with Grilled Galbi?
I love banchan, which are basically small-plate appetizers, and this Cucumber Kimchi would be perfect with this dish. So would some Japchae, which is a Korean noodle dish featuring glass noodles, vegetables, and protein like chicken, pork, or shrimp, mixed with a sweet sauce.
Another great one would be these Spicy Korean Rice Cakes.
