Another one of my favorite korean eats is Beef stew. Beef shanks or shortribs are braised in beef broth, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and infused with garlic and ginger. Like any other korean viand, it is commonly served with steamed white rice, kimchi and some other side dish. It's sweet, salty and spicy, all at the same time. (It's somewhat similar to the flavor of asado.)And I absolutely love it.  As we didn't have any beef shortribs/shanks available at the time I had a hankering for this dish, I improvised and made use of pork (short ribs) instead.
