    Dak Galbi (Korean Spicy Chicken Stir Fry)

    Dak Galbi, also known as, Korean Spicy Chicken Stir Fry. It’s spicy, savoury, smokey and so delicious! The chicken is marinated in korean hot pepper flakes and paste. Perfect for dinner or lunch.

    My dak galbi recipe is also accompanied with cabbage, carrot, onion, and Korean rice cakes. Perfect for lunch or dinner.

    Dak Galbi is usually fried on a dak galbi pan set over a gas stove top in the middle of a dinner table. While it cooks, you guests can converse and enjoy the aroma of the deliciousness to come.

    Then once all the chicken and veggies are eaten, Koreans usually fry rice or ramen in the leftover sauce. It’s a delicious meal that will hit the spot.

    Dak Galbi

    It's actually one of my favourite Korean dishes ever.  I love it paired with some steamed white rice.  The taste of the smoky spicy barbeque-like sauce is so unique to Korean cuisine and I highly recommend it.
