Vegetarians may want to close their eyes.
Even though we lived here in Seoul many years ago, I had completely forgotten how utterly sublime and delicious an experience it can be to eat Korean barb-b-q known as kalbi or galbi. Truly. And that's despite it being served with side dishes that can look like grass clippings and kind of taste like them too.
It can be an especially discombobulating culinary experience (and digestive nightmare), though, for the jet-lagged traveler just out of the clouds after being cooped up for more than eleven hours and with a travel companion who barely lets her take a breath before saying,"we're off to dinner!"
Dinner? Didn't we have, like, three meals today already? And why the heck am I so starved? And why, oh why, can't I stop myself from stuffing my face with this delicious meat which I know I'm going to regret later?
Bottom line, I don't recommend consuming this meal until your stomach knows what time it is and you've been on the ground long enough that the smell of the ubiquitous kimchi on the table doesn't make you feel faint.
Learn how to make it in your own kitchen.
Enjoy!
