somebody shut me the fark up.
The wife hasn't been able to go back to being a bartender since her return from Korea. That little accident she was in required more healing than we expected. She was starting to go a little stir crazy and feeling like she wasn't pulling her weight, no matter how much I told her that we were fine and that her only job was to get better. She came up with the idea that maybe she could sell a little of her Korean food to keep busy and make a little spending money on the side. She went out and bought all the ingredients to make a bunch of dumplings (Yakimandu). Ended up making 14 orders of 20 dumplings, ten steamer and ten fryer style. I shared on Facebook that she was asking $13 for a frozen uncooked bag of twenty and she sold those in a couple of hours with requests for more in the future. This really surprised her, as she had not sold her food before, but lots of friends had been given some and loved it.
Next, she got a little ambitious and decided to make eggrolls. These aren't the veggie filled eggrolls you get at the little Asian place. They are more of a pork based with veggies to compliment it. Forty-seven dozen later, and four days worth of work, and she sold them all for $15 a dozen. Again, people bought it up quickly, and really like the product.
She was trying to think of what to do next and we kicked around the idea for Kalbi. We decided to make some up for us, put them out there, and see if anyone is interested in it. So, I got 5 pounds of flanken cut beef short ribs Saturday. She got the meat ready (she soaks them in water to get some of the "blood" out), made up the marinade, bagged them up and into the fridge.
A couple days later, we pulled out one bag to grill up.
I got the WSCG ready to go, medium high heat direct, with room to go indirect if it started to flame up.
Onto the grill they went...
She says you need to re-dip into the marinade while cooking.
Getting there.
Nice and caramelized.
Done:
Plated with some rice and Cucumber Kimchi.
Tender beef, sweet, salty, sticky, good stuff. My second favorite way to eat Beef Short Ribs...
We have shared the idea with our friends to see if anyone is interested. Thinking cost would be price of meat, plus $10 for her time and the marinade ingredients. The five pound I bought cost $30, so $40 for five pounds of pre-marinated Kalbi. Not sure. We'll see how it goes.
Before anyone asks, she is only selling locally to friends at this time. Sorry...
Thanks for looking.
