Dinner: Salty beef side dish ("jangjorim":장조림)

How to make this delicious side dish. The full recipe is on my website: http://www.maangchi.com/recipes/jangjorim Cooking time: 1.5 hours Ingredients:
1 pound of beef (flank steak or round part), soy sauce, water, honey, garlic, eggs, shishito chile pepper (kkwarigochu in Korean), dried kelp. 1. Prepare 1 pound (about 450 grams) of beef (flank part or round part) and cut it along the grain into 2×3 inch sized chunks. 2. Soak the beef chunks in cold water. 3. Put 4 cups of water into a thick-bottomed pot and bring to a boil. 4. When the water boils, drain the beef and put it into the boiling water. 5. Boil it for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the beef is tender. 6. When the beef is fully cooked and tender, take out the beef chunks and wash and drain them in cold water.
*tip: If the beef is still tough after 50 minutes, add more water and cook longer. Poke the beef with a fork to see if it's tender enough or not. The fork should go through the beef easily. 7. Sieve the beef stock through a coffee filter or cheese cloth to get a clear broth. 8. Put the beef chunks into the pot and add 2 cups of broth, ¾ cup soy sauce, ½ cup of garlic cloves, a few strips (4×5 cm) of dried kelp, 2 cups of shishito chile pepper, 1 tbs honey, and rest 3 eggs on top. 9. Bring to a boil for 7 minutes over medium high heat. 10. Open the lid and turn the eggs over so that the egg yolks will be in the center of the eggs when they are cooked. 11. Cook another 10 minutes. 12. Take out the eggs and rinse them in cold water. Crack the shells a bit by gently tapping each egg on your cutting board. 13. Put the eggs back into the pot and stir so they are submerged.
*tip: the soy sauce juice will enter through the cracks and make a cool pattern on the eggs. 14. Cook another 15 minutes and remove the pot from the heat. 15. Take the eggs out and peel the shells off. You will see the beautiful pattern!
 16. Cool it down and keep it in the refrigerator.
 How to serve: 1. Take some beef from the container and put it on a serving plate 2. Tear the beef into bite sized pieces. 3. Put some cooked shishito chile pepper, kelp, and sliced egg next to the beef and add some jangjorim juice, too.

Honey

Health benefits of Salty beef side dish ("jangjorim":장조림)

Honey, often hailed as a superfood, possesses a wealth of nutritional benefits that make it a valuable addition to a balanced diet. With a glycemic index (GI) of 55 for one tablespoon, honey is considered a moderate GI food. This means it does not spike blood sugar levels as high or as quickly as high-GI foods, making it a better choice for maintaining steady energy levels and supporting overall health.

Rich in antioxidants, including phenolic acids and flavonoids, honey offers protective benefits against oxidative stress and inflammation. These antioxidants can help combat the damage caused by free radicals, which are linked to chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer. Furthermore, the natural sugars in honey can provide a quick energy boost, making it an excellent option for a pre-workout snack or a natural sweetener in beverages and meals.

Honey's benefits extend beyond its nutritional profile. Its antimicrobial properties make it a natural remedy for wounds and burns, promoting healing by providing a moist environment and acting as a barrier to infection. Additionally, honey has been used for centuries to soothe sore throats and coughs, thanks to its ability to coat the throat and reduce irritation.

However, it's important to consume honey in moderation. While it is a healthier alternative to refined sugar, it is still a form of sugar and can contribute to weight gain and other health issues if consumed in large amounts. For individuals with diabetes or those monitoring their blood sugar levels, it's crucial to account for honey's GI and its effects on blood sugar.

Choosing raw, unprocessed honey can also maximize its health benefits. Raw honey is more likely to retain its antioxidants and other beneficial compounds that can be lost during processing. Incorporating honey into your diet can be as simple as adding it to yogurt, drizzling it over oatmeal, or blending it into smoothies. Its natural sweetness and health-promoting properties make honey a superfood worth including in a healthy, balanced diet.
