So this Korean ribs recipe is basically LA galbi with my own personal touches. It has received praise from many Koreans; however, I’m not sure if they were just being nice or not. You don’t need a portable/tabletop stove for this (you can use a stovetop instead), but it’s more fun this way. Serve with rice, kimchi, garlic, etc. Garnish with sesame seeds.
