Actress Oh Yoon-ah has shared healthier recipes for Chuseok, the Korean holiday where food plays a significant role in family celebrations. In a video on her YouTube channel, she presented protein-rich alternatives to traditional dishes, such as braised short ribs and steamed vegetables. The key to making galbi-jjim, a Chuseok staple, more diet-friendly lies in the ingredients used for sweetness.
Oh refrains from using sugar altogether and instead incorporates alternative sweeteners like oligosaccharide syrup and green plum syrup. She also marinates the meat with pear and onion. For the steamed vegetables, Oh focuses on nutrition, seasoning the meat with cooking wine and salt before grilling. She then cuts her choice of vegetables diagonally and steams them before serving with a sauce. Oh explained that diagonal cuts help vegetables cook thoroughly, even when pieces are large.
