1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
5 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
3/4 Cup scallions, roughly chopped

½ Tbsp Sweet Soy
1 tsp White Sesame Seeds
2 dashes Ichimi
1 Tbsp Crispy Shallots
1 Egg Yolk, separated
1 Tbsp Tare
Method:
Caramelized Onions:
1. Heat butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat
2. Add thinly sliced onions to the warm butter, stir to combine
3. Stir occasionally, cooking until onions are tender, and a deep golden brown
Maitake Mushrooms:
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat
2. Add mushrooms to the pan in a single layer
3. Cook undisturbed for five minutes, flip and cook an additional 3 minutes until a char develops
Kalbi Marinade:
1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until well incorporated
2. Refrigerate any leftover Kalbi Marinade (Shelf life: 1 week)
Short Rib:
1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F
2. Combine short rib pieces and blended sauce in a heavy casserole dish or Dutch oven. Cover tightly with foil and a tight-fitting lid
3. Bake in the oven for 3 hours total. To check for doneness, carefully remove the lid and pierce the meat with the tines of a fork or point of a knife; it should yield easily
Sushi Rice:
1. Prepare sushi rice according to package instructions
2. Set aside for later
Tare:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add all of the ingredients and whisk together until smooth.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce has reduced by half and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon evenly, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. The sauce will keep for one week in the fridge.
