Actress Oh Yoon-ah has shared healthier recipes for Chuseok, the Korean holiday steeped in family gatherings and feasting. In a YouTube video, she presented protein-packed versions of traditional dishes, aiming to make them more suitable for those seeking a diet-conscious approach.
For galbi-jjim, a popular Chuseok dish featuring braised short ribs, Oh eliminated sugar and used alternative sweeteners instead. She opted for oligosaccharide syrup and green plum syrup, as well as creating a marinade from pear and onion. Instead of focusing on sweetness, she preferred a saltier flavor profile for the dish.
Oh's steamed vegetable recipe was equally straightforward and nutrition-focused. She seasoned the meat with cooking wine and salt before grilling it. Then, she cut her chosen vegetables diagonally and steamed them before serving with a sauce. Diagonal cuts allow the vegetables to cook thoroughly, even when the pieces are large.
