Galbi Jjim (Beef Short Ribs) : I applied what I have learned in school

For last night's dinner I decided to cook Galbi Jjim (Korean dish). This dish needs a lot of time for marinating and cooking (depending on the beef you bought) but the whole process of it, you will soon realize why it's a great food to serve for holidays. 

Letting my Galbi Jjim simmer

Nothing makes me more happy than seeing the people I cook for likes what I prepare for them even sometimes it lacks taste and flavor. I know I still have more to improve and through this I'm learning. I'm enrolled in a culinary class but I don't want to just depend on our chef. So when I have my free time I cook or bake. It's really different when you discover, explore and learn from yourself in the kitchen. You get to actually see it for yourself what you're making. 

From what I learned, as a culinary student, you should not be afraid to make your own decisions (of course, there will be mistakes but they are great teachers), do whatever you are told to do (when you're in the real world already, the environment is 20x more stressful) and lastly, whatever you do be passionate. No matter how hard and rough things are, if you do it with passion and determination you will conquer the challenges and problems. Don't give up easily. 

These are the few things I learned so far for the past five months. I'm still learning and I will keep learning.
