Kalbi is a staple of Korean fine dining but is too expensive in restaurants. It is simple to make at home with beef short ribs and a sweet and savory sesame and soy sauce marinade. It's traditionally served sliced, rolled in romaine lettuce leaves with white rice, lightly browned garlic slices, and gochujang (Korean red pepper paste). Sure to leave your guests asking for more!

Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen (Pork Cutlet Soy Sauce Ramen)
If you have ever wanted to make Japanese noodle house ramen, this tonkatsu recipe is for you. This everyday meal is great for singles with some cooking experience; it may take longer than the overall time without cooking experience. To save time, I rarely measure each ingredient's amount due to the large number of small measurements in the recipe.
