Galbitang
Clear Korean beef short-rib soup
Galbitang is a festive Korean soup of beef short ribs, served on special occasions and holidays. A clear, pure broth is its hallmark.
The ribs are simmered long until the meat falls tender from the bones; glass noodles and egg ribbons make the soup at once rich and elegant.
