Chuncheon Dakgalbi Challenge

"Chuncheon Dakgalbi" is a dish that offers the traditional flavors of Korea. Juicy chicken, exquisitely blended with spicy dakgalbi sauce, stimulates the appetite. It pairs perfectly with vegetables, with colorful vegetables adding a rich texture and umami. Grilled on a sizzling hot plate, the fragrant aroma and rich, deep flavor spread. It's perfect for meals with family and friends, creating special moments. Enjoy the flavors of Chuncheon to the fullest and savor the taste of Korea.

This is Dakgalbi (chicken ribs), a specialty dish from Chuncheon.

The first time I ate Dakgalbi goes back to my time in the military. I was stationed in Yanggu, and in a restaurant right in front of the unit, they served a pan-fried dish that was purely chicken and sauce, with absolutely no other ingredients. I still recall that taste from time to time.

Perhaps because I was in the military, it tasted incredibly delicious. So, today, I'm going to try making Chuncheon Dakgalbi.



1. Rub the sauce into the cut chicken. I had the butcher cut the chicken for me. The sauce contains various ingredients such as gochujang, chili powder, oyster sauce, soy sauce, corn syrup, sugar, grated garlic, ginger, onion, green onion, pepper, salt, mirin, and sesame oil. After mixing all the ingredients, let it marinate for about an hour to allow the flavors to penetrate.



2. Next, heat salad oil in a large frying pan and arrange the chicken, cabbage, sweet potatoes, and tteokbokki rice cakes.

3. Chuncheon Dakgalbi is complete.



4. Plated and snapped a picture.



5. Oh, I forgot the soju. It was too much for one person, so I gave up on making fried rice. I plan to reheat and eat it again tomorrow.
