i tried this recipe for thanksgiving this year, and it was a great hit. :) i was very pleased with how it turned out. i think it tastes more authentic than the bulgolgi recipe i use. this recipe is based on this recipe.
serves 8-10
16 korean style beef ribs (they’re usually thin cut and you can find them in korean stores)
1 C soy sauce
3/4 C sugar
1/2 C water
1 asian pear, chopped (or 1/2 korean pear)
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, smashed and peeled
4 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds
4 slices of ginger
5 green onions, roughly chopped
- in a food processor, added onion and pear. puree finely. pour into a large bowl or large ziploc bag.
- add the rest of the marinade ingredients (minus ribs) and stir until all ingredients are combined. add the ribs.
- marinate beef for 8-10 hours or overnight.
- heat a large pan or grill on high heat. oil the pan/grill. cook ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side. serve with rice and kimchi.

my friend hanna made this cake for my friend, kenton’s, birthday. it was very delicious (but not very nutrious)!. 
it wasn’t too sweet, and the pockets of melted chocolate chips were just an added bonus.
serves 8-10
1 box chocolate cake mix
1, 3 oz package of chocolate pudding mix
4 eggs
1 C sour cream
1/2 C warm water
1/2 C oil
1 1/2 C chocolate chips
- preheat oven to 350. grease a bundt pan.
- mix all the ingredients together except for chocolate chips. add the chocolate chips. pour into pan.
- bake for 45-50 minutes.
