Low Sodium Kalbi Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except ribs in a 1 gallon ziplock bag. Add ribs and seal bag, squeezing out excess air.
• Work sauce into ribs by kneading bag (be careful not to poke a hole in it).
• Marinade several hours (no more than 4 if using very thin meat, such as for sukiyaki), or freeze.
• To cook: If frozen, thaw first by placing in refrigerator the day before.
• Drain meat, reserving marinade.
• Grill over medium-hot coals until done to taste (time will vary depending on meat used).
• Meanwhile, place reserved marinade in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
• I like to serve this sliced, over rice topped with shredded cabbage (I use undressed coleslaw salad mix), with the sauce drizzled on top. Kimchi makes a good side dish, too.

Steps:

• In a pressure cooker, combine soy sauce, scallions, sugar, garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Lightly season short ribs with salt and pepper, and add to the cooker. Toss ribs in the sauce. Arrange ribs in an even layer and top with the daikon, potatoes and carrots. Lock pressure cooker lid in place and set steam vent to sealing position. Select high pressure and cook for 30 minutes. Let pressure release naturally.
• Transfer short ribs and vegetables to a large plate. Loosely cover with foil or plastic wrap to keep warm. Carefully pour liquid into a fat separator or large bowl and degrease. Return liquid to the pressure cooker. Using the sauté function, simmer until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups and thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add short ribs and simmer, turning, until warmed through and evenly coated in the sauce, about 2 minutes. Divide ribs among 4 shallow bowls. Repeat with vegetables, simmering until warmed, then distributing among the bowls.
• Spoon the sauce over the ribs and vegetables, and serve with rice and kimchi.

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, green onions, and sesame oil until the sugar has dissolved.
• Place the ribs in a large plastic zipper bag. Pour the marinade over the ribs, squeeze out all the air, and refrigerate the bag for 3 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the ribs from the bag, shake off the excess marinade, and discard the marinade. Grill the ribs on the preheated grill until the meat is still pink but not bloody nearest the bone, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
