Dak-galbi (닭갈비) or spicy stir-fried chicken is a popular Korean dish made by stir-frying marinated diced chicken in a gochujang-based sauce with sweet potatoes, cabbage, perilla leaves, scallions, tteok (rice cake), and other ingredients.[2] Many dak-galbi restauratns have large, round hot plates that are built into the the tables. Lettuce and perilla leaves are served as ssam (wrap) vegetables.[3]
History and etymology
Although dak and galbi translates into "chicken" and "rib" respectively, the term dak-galbi does not refer to chicken ribs.
The dish started in the 1960s as grilled chicken bits, an inexpensive anju (accompaniment to alcoholic drinks) in small taverns on the outskirts of Chuncheon to replace the comparatively expensive gui dishes grilled over charcoal.[4] Dak-galbi spread to Chuncheon's main districts, where the livestock industry thrived and offered fresh ingredients with no need for refrigeration.[4] As a relatively cheap dish served in large portions, it gained popularity with soldiers students on a budget and earned the nickname "commoners' galbi" or "university student's galbi" in the 1970s.[5]
Today, the dish is a local specialty of Chuncheon, and is often referred to as Chuncheon-dak-galbi.[4] An annual festival dedicated to dak-galbi is held in Chuncheon, where there is also a dak-galbi alley with a large number of dak-galbi restaurants.[6]
