I like the slow cooker too when I’m lazy and just want a hot meal when I get home from work. I just add enough water to cover the meat; then add more seasonings at the same time. The broth is really good! I just eat it with rice and add the broth in together like a stew and it’s so good.

I made this today for my family. My husband and one of my daughters went crazy for it. (My other 2 are sick and so aren’t eating much right now.) This is definitely one to make again!

Hi maangchi! I love this dish and I would love to make it. But my diet requires that I do not eat any processed sugars and also no corn starch. I can use natural sweetners like honey or agave. What would you recommend? I was thinking I could use honey instead of brow sugar and just skip the cornstarch. Thanks :)

Hi, jinpong. A slow cooker is an awesome way to make this dish, but it does not get to a high enough heat to boil off the liquid. I think your problem will be solved if you do the last part of step 12 of Maangchi’s recipe: “…and heat it up over high heat. Mix it well until liquid evaporates.” You might have to transfer it to a stove-top pot, but it will get rid of the extra water. Hope this helps you. Cheers!

I made this today but used slow cooker. I followed till 6 then popped all in slow cooker for 6 hrs. I also added the mulyot. It turned out good n soft but was bit watery. I did not add the sesame oil. What would you suggest? Less water and more soy sauce?

Hi Cat – i followed Maangchi’s recipe until step 6 (I boiled the ribs then place them in the slow cooker). I put all the remaining ingredients into the slow cooker at a ‘low’ setting for 6 hours and literally just left it alone…but I suspect it may differ depending on your slow cooker?
I hope it goes well for you!

Hi Maangchi,

My mom is here visiting and she is the kind of korean cook who also whips things out without measuring (or barely looking at what she’s doing). I work all day but want to make this kalbi chim for my parents and want to throw it in the slow cooker. What instructions would you change to do it this way? I am really excited about your website and can’t wait to make this dish!

Thanks,
Cat

Hi Maangchi – I love your website and youtube show. It’s where I go when I feel homesick!

I made this with short ribs, carrots, potatoes, shiitake mushrooms and chestnuts in a slow-cooker. The meat just melted off the bone – it was amazingly flavoursome! We didn’t have any sauce left at the end either so clean up was no trouble ^^
Thanks so much!
