my favorite childhood food turns out to be incredibly easy to cook

Slow-cooked Galbi.

Buy some short ribs. Put in slow cooker. No, you don't need to brown it. (Mom laughed at me when I asked.) Mix together soy sauce, water, sugar, and crushed garlic (the kind that comes in a jar is fine), enough to cover the short ribs with. (I think I used about 2 cups water to 1/3 cup soy sauce and 1/4 cup sugar, though I'm not sure because I just dumped it all together without measuring.) Taste. If sauce is too strong and salty, add water. If just too salty, add sugar. If not salty enough, add soy sauce. Add some more garlic (if you are like me and adore garlic). Realize you forgot to add ginger (again, crushed in jar is fine) and a bit of sesame oil, and correct that. Pour over short ribs.

Cook for 6 hours in the slow cooker, or until meat is falling off the bone. Eat lots and lots with rice.

Prep time: less than 5 minutes. This is totally now in my things-to-prepare-when-life-gets-hectic-or-I-get-lazy recipe compartment :)
