LA Galbi/Kalbi (엘에이 갈비) is considered one of my favorite Korean BBQ meats. Its tender, candy and just a little salty seasoned meat is fairly addictive. Licking every finger as you consume every meat and bone piece can also be one other entertainment you may take pleasure in whereas BBQ-ing this LA Galbi.

I in simple terms found this delicious dish a few years ago simply earlier than I left Korea (Unfortunately my mum by no means made this for me.) I even have always considered the title at Korean restaurants in Korea, but I concept LA Galbi is the identical as usual Korean Galbi type (including the form and everything), unless that the beef is imported from Los Angeles USA.


LA GALBI VS. TRADITIONAL KOREAN GALBI
Interestingly enough, the LA Galbi and so known as ‘traditional Korean Galbi’ appear fairly other as a consequence of the method it's cut.

Korean Galbi is cut in segments along the rib bone shapes and it's thicker whereas LA Galbi is cut by way of the rib bone, always exhibiting three rib bone eyes. It can also be thinner, therefore simpler to marinate and sooner to prepare dinner on a BBQ grill.

According to Korean encyclopaedia, there are NULL theories in regards to the origin of the LA Galbi name.

LA preliminary comes from rib bone being cut laterally.
The Korean immigrant network in Los Angeles began utilizing thinly sliced Galbi for grilled BBQ and this tradition was introduced again to Korea
Whichever is true, the style of usual Korean Galbi is the identical as LA Galbi if marinated and cooked the identical way. (Though, I would assume the tenderness and the feel would possibly be different). Which one would you prefer? Korean Galbi? or LA Galbi? I assume I am leaning toward LA Galbi. 😀
