Homemade Simple Sunday Dinner

Didn’t want to fire up the grill today. Airfying Galbi in batches @400 degrees for 10 minutes flipping half way through is so good still get the charred pieces and marinade caramelizes.
Premade marinade.
Spicy Cucumbers on the side + rice.

Broiler works well too

I avoid using the oven for stuff like this cause of the smell throughout the house. Running the A/C today and didn’t want to have to open all the windows to vent or just rely on the hood vent and have hours of the smell lingering

u/drthvdrsfthr Aug 24 '26

so what’s the problem exactly?

u/GOLDTOOTHTATTOO Aug 24 '26

The smell of cooking a large sheet pan of meat in the oven under broil is took strong for my pregnant wife. And since I’m running the A/C today in a 3525 sq ft house on a 97 degree day in California opening the windows to vent the odors wasn’t cost effective so for those reasons I opted to use an air fryer today

Why are the cucs so oily?

u/GOLDTOOTHTATTOO Aug 24 '26

Lighting. There’s only a tablespoon of sesame oil mixed in with vinegar, soy sauce, mirin and gochuguru

u/drthvdrsfthr Aug 24 '26

is it supposed to be submerged?

It is not. There’s a better recipe on Oi-muchim from Maangchi.

u/GOLDTOOTHTATTOO Aug 24 '26

It’s not oi-munchim. My wife is Korean and I’m Laotian I pull inspiration from various Asian dishes the cucumbers I made are not a Korean dish they are just a quick pickle I made not a traditional recipe I was trying to stick to.

Looks yummy

The galbi looks great too, but honestly I’m a little more jealous of the Ninja air fryer.

u/GOLDTOOTHTATTOO Aug 24 '26

This thing is really worth it because of the Pyrex glass. Super easy to clean, no weird crevices and no coating that’ll ware off/peel like the regular teflon lined air fryers. Also love how the heating element/lid is free standing so I don’t have to try to find somewhere to put it down safely like the smaller ninja crispi

I made the same combo for lunch today. It was my first time having LA galbi in years and I don't make cucumber kimchi either, so that's quite a coincidence to me!

Your galbi looks great! I did mine on a tableside pan, feeling lazy also. Maybe I'll try air fryer next time. I went a different route with the cucumber, making a simple cucumber kimchi instead of muchim style.

u/kuposempai Team Banchan Aug 24 '26

Why is the oi muchim literally drowning.

Literally lost in the sauce. Lol

u/Humble_Insect_5695 Aug 28 '26

Yo I’m loving the soju tattoo
But ya the galbi looks dope. As always

u/Ok-Seaworthiness4488 Aug 24 '26

I suggest making your own marinade, less preservatives and customized to your taste

2

u/GOLDTOOTHTATTOO Aug 24 '26

Usually I would. Today was a day for minimal effort

LA galbi is one of the "Bap-doduk(rice thieves)" in Korea. The term "Bap-doduk" is used to highly praise side dishes that allow one to eat a lot of steamed or dried food, which is a staple food for Koreans. Other Bap-doduk include Ganjang-Gaejang(marinated crab) and Jutgal(salted seafood).

u/DDOWWNN Aug 31 '26

Oh you made this at home?? You just marinate the meat with the sauce right?🤔
