Marinade timing — set an actual timer

Caroline SonInstructorMay 20, 12:59 AM

Write this down: bulgogi wants a few hours, not overnight. I left mine too long once thinking more is better and the meat went mushy and too salty. I served it anyway because the rice was already done. Don't be like me. Set a timer this week and tell me what time you pulled it.

Ok setting a timer for real this time. Did 3 hrs last week on accident and it was perfect so Caroline might be onto something 😂 rice saved me too 😂

Bailey, 3 hours by accident is still 3 hours, I'll take it. That's basically the window I land in every time now, so you're not wrong to trust it. Write it on a card so it's not an accident twice. And yes, riec covers a multitude of sins, mine included.

Been fighting a cold all week so I did the lazy version, marinated 3 hrs while I napped and Naomi watched the timer for me. Worked great. Writing "3 hrs" on an index card right now, Caroline's right.

Naomi as timer supervisor is genius, stealing that idea 😂

Bailey, steal away. A kid yelling "TIME'S UP" is more reliable than most kitchen timers I own! Alisha, hope the cold's easing up. 3 hours, index card, done.
