love, called galbi jjim (pronounced &#8220;gal-bee jeem&#8221;) that consists of short ribs braised in a salty-sweet broth. \u00a0I only made it once, though, because it takes several hours of hands-on cooking. \u00a0There had to be a better way, I thought. \u00a0When it comes to long, slow cooking, nothing beats the crock pot, so I started there. \u00a0I quickly realized, however, that a large part of the dish &#8211; namely the bone &#8211; wasn&#8217;t adding anything to the finished crock pot recipe, so I switched tactics again. \u00a0Voila! \u00a0Korean Pot Roast!<\/p>\n<p>You can eat this right out of the crock pot, with rice, kimchee, and banchan. \u00a0But since you&#8217;re cooking a two- to three-pound roast, you will likely have leftovers. \u00a0Ready for something really wild? \u00a0Why not try Korean tacos! \u00a0Here in Los Angeles, they are quite the rage, with several of the city&#8217;s hippest restaurants and food trucks putting their own spin on this fusion of Mexican and Korean. \u00a0I make my tacos pretty basic, but feel free to get wild with them! \u00a0Below are recipes for both the pot roast and the tacos. \u00a0Make the pot roast first, then you can have tacos the next day. \u00a0You culinary globe-trotter, you!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Slow Cooker Korean Pot Roast<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 tablespoons sesame oil<\/li>\n<li>2- to 3-pound beef chuck roast<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 red or white onion, sliced thinly<\/li>\n<li>10 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed with the back of your knife<\/li>\n<li>3 tablespoons brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup apple juice<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup soy sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Set crock pot to HIGH. \u00a0Pour in the sesame oil and swirl around the pot to coat. \u00a0Add roast and push down to fit. \u00a0Cover the roast with onion slices and garlic cloves, then sprinkle with brown sugar. \u00a0Pour apple juice and soy sauce over roast.<\/li>\n<li>Cover and cook on HIGH for 6-8 hours, depending on the size of your roast. \u00a0When done, you should be able to pull it apart with a fork. \u00a0Serve with steamed rice, kimchee, and banchans or vegetables of your choice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Korean Tacos<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leftover Korean pot roast<\/li>\n<li>Corn tortillas<\/li>\n<li>Cilantro<\/li>\n<li>Thinly sliced red or white onions<\/li>\n<li>1 quantity sauce from the <a href=\"http:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/2012\/11\/29\/gch-whats-on-your-plate-dubu-buchim-pan-fried-tofu-korean-style\/\">Dubu Buchim<\/a> recipe, or salsa of choice<\/li>\n<li>Optional ingredients: \u00a0chopped cabbage or lettuce, avocado, a squeeze of lemon or lime juice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the microwave, reheat the pot roast. \u00a0Make sure it is thoroughly heated. \u00a0When you have it very hot, drain away any juices, but keep the onions and garlic, if there are any.<\/li>\n<li>Wrap corn tortillas in a damp dish towel and place between two plates. \u00a0Microwave for 30 seconds. \u00a0This gets them hot and steamy!<\/li>\n<li>To assemble: \u00a0fill tortilla with beef, then spoon over some of the Dubu Buchim sauce (or even just a smear of gochujang!) \u00a0Sprinkle with lots of chopped cilantro and onions, and whatever other optional taco ingredients you choose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Explore, experiment, enjoy!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dana<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Find more recipes from Dana, Korean and otherwise, at\u00a0<a
