Homemade Dak Galbi 닭갈비

Annyeonghaseyo!

What will you do when your taste buds are craving for Korean food desperately?  The easiest way is to make it by yourself when there's no single Korean restaurant nearby. Dak galbi (닭갈비) is one of the simple Korean dishes that you can make it at home without much messing your kitchen, haha.

"Dak galbi, also romanized dalk galbi, is a popular Korean dish generally made by stir-frying marinated diced chicken in a gochujang based sauce, and sliced cabbage, sweet potato, scallions, onions, perilla leaves, and tteok together on a hot plate."

Here are the ingredients you need:

Sweet potato + sliced onions

Sliced cabbage

Chicken breast meat

Pepper powder + sesame oil + gochujang (spicy pepper sauce) + salts + sugar

Step 1:

Marinate the chicken breast meat with pepper powder, sesame oil, gochujang, salts and sugar.  Of course, it will taste better with addition of cooking wine, soy sauce and ginger paste.

Step 2:

Pre-heat frying pan with cooking oil and stir fry some chopped garlic.

Step 3:

Stir fry the marinated chicken breast meat. 

Step 4:

Add in the cabbage, onion and soft-boiled sweet potato.  Well mix the ingredients and cook until the cabbage wilt.  Caution: only small amount of water need to be added or else it may turn out to be too watery. 

Ta-daa! 

The yummy-licious dak galbi is ready to be served!

Best serve with rice, ramen or even white bread! 

Hope you enjoy learning to cook this simple Korean dish ( I would rate myself 9/10) 

It'll be perfect if korean rice cake is addded, haha. Let me know if you tried it at home too! =)
