Dak galbi, also romanized dalk galbi, is a popular South Korean dish generally made by stir-frying marinated diced chicken in a gochujang (chili pepper paste) based sauce, and sliced cabbage, sweet potato, scallions, onions and tteok (rice cake) together on a hot plate. It is a local specialty food for the city of Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, where dak galbi originates. Because of its origin, the dish is also called Chuncheon dalk galbi.[1]
It is said that dak galbi appeared after the late 1960s as an inexpensive anju (food that is eaten while drinking) in small taverns, on the outskirts of the city to replace the rather expensive gui (Korean grilled dishes) which are dishes cooked over charcoal. The dish has spread to the main districts of Chuncheon, where soldiers who serve their military service are vacationing. It is also a popular dish for university students who are on a low budget. Dak galbi is cheap and abundant. One of the reasons why dak galbi has been developed there is that the livestock industry thrives in Chuncheon. Due to the cheap price, together with its taste and amount, it was nick-named commoners' galbi or university student's galbi back in the 1970s.[1] Chuncheon has held an annual autumn festival dedicated to dak galbi since 2005.[2]
