Dak Galbi

T he pleasant lakeside city of Chuncheon is famous for its beautiful natural surroundings and dak galbi, one of Koreas most popular dishes.Dak galbi got its start in 1960 when a Chuncheon restaurateur began grilling chicken instead of pork. The dish caught on and now can be found throughout Korea.

To prepare dak galbi, chunks of chicken meat are pan fried in a tangy red-pepper sauce with vegetables, sweet potatoes and rice cakes. Noodles are sometimes added as well. After the meat is consumed, a bowl of rice is often fried in the leftover sauce.

Chuncheon is still the place to enjoy this spicy favorite. Try the restaurants in Myeong-dongs Dak Galbi Alley.
