Korean braised beef short ribs (galbi-jjim)
Use a thick-bottomed pan to lessen the chance of scorching. The sauce contains sugar and mirin (a sweet rice wine) which caramelize as the liquid evaporates. It's also wise to scrape the bottom of the pan once in a while.

Leave boiling, uncovered, for at least ten minutes.

Clean the pan, dump in the rinsed beef, and add the ginger, garlic and pepper.
Pour in the soy sauce, mirin, about two cups of the mushroom soaking liquid, and add the sugar.
Bring to the boil, cover, lower the heat and simmer for about 40 minutes.
Cut off the stems of the shiitake and discard (or reserve for another use). Cut the caps into quarters.
