Easy Instant Pot Galbitang (Short Rib Soup)

Step 1

Trim off any excess fat from ribs.

Step 2

Soak ribs in cold water for 30 minutes to hour to draw out excess blood.

Step 3

While the ribs are soaking, clean green onions and slice or chop 2 of them and just cut the remaining 2 in 1/2 lengths for the soup.

Step 4

Peel and cut 2 thick slices of ginger, peel Korean radish and cut into big chunks. You can use Daikon radish if Korean radish is not easily available.

Step 5

In your Instant Pot, add ribs, whole yellow onion, radish, green onions, ginger and water.

Step 6

Close and set your Instant Pot to SOUP function. Set it for 30 minutes. If you have time, just let it Naturally Release. If you are in a hurry, leave it for 5 min. and then do a Manual Quick Release. But be ready for some splatter - I usually cover the vent with some kitchen towel so it doesn't go all over the place. It will pressure cook your Galbitang perfectly!

Step 7

Skim off fat from soup.

Step 8

Season soup by adding guk ganjang, salt and garlic.
