dak galbi

Delicious and authentic Korean dak galbi recipe!

Dak Galbi (Korean Spicy Chicken Stir Fry)

500 g chicken thigh fillets ((1.1 pounds), you can use a whole chicken

sweet potato

carrot

cabbage

Korean

Korean rice cakes

Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

Tbsp rice wine

Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)

soy sauce

Tbsp raw sugar

Tbsp minced garlic

tsp minced ginger

Korean curry powder

onion

Few sprinkles ground black pepper

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix them well. Pour the sauce over the chopped chicken and marinate for at least 30 mins. (Though I strongly recommend marinating it for at least 4 hrs, and if you can afford more time, for overnight for better flavored chicken. However if you are really short of time, 30 mins is OK.)

Preheat a large skillet on medium high heat and once heated add some cooking oil. Put all the vegetables and rice cakes into the skillet and add the meat on top. Cook them on medium high heat for 3-4 mins. Then reduce the heat to medium to medium low and cook further until all is cooked (about 10 - 15 mins). During cooking, stir often to avoid food sticking onto the pan. You can cover with a lid to speed up the cooking process.

Serve with rice and other Korean side dishes (optional)

Featuring succulent pieces of Korean spicy chicken stir fried in a mouthwatering Dakgalbi sauce and smothered with melted cheese. Cook it on the stove, or better yet, in the middle of the table surrounded by friends.

Dakgalbi with Cheese - Korean Spicy Chicken Stir Fry

chicken thighs (diced (around 4 thighs))

cabbage (2-3 cups once diced)

carrot (sliced)

potato

Korean rice cakes ((tteok))

spring onion / green onion

vegetable oil (for cooking)

Korean hot pepper paste / gochujang

tbsp garlic

tbsp rice wine (or mirin)

Korean hot pepper flakes / gochugaru

tbsp sugar

tsp sesame oil

tsp ginger

cheese (grated, tasty

lettuce (small, leave as whole leaves)

(optional)

Mix together the gochujang, garlic, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, Korean red pepper flakes, sugar and ginger in a medium sized mixing bowl.

Marinate

Now add the diced chicken and stir well to make sure every piece is coated in deliciousness. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins (or overnight for even better flavour!)

For the Marinade:

Heat

Let’s get cooking! Heat the vegetable oil in a large flat-bottomed fry pan or cast iron fry pan over a medium high heat.

Layer

Now create a base layer with the cabbage followed by the carrot, sweet potato and rice cakes. Pop the marinated chicken straight over the top.

Stir Fry

Let it cook for a minute or two, then reduce the heat and stir fry until cooked through. We found that covering it with a lid helps to steam and cook the ingredients through faster, in particular the sweet potato and chicken.

Steam

Keep an eye on the ingredients and stir regularly to make sure they don’t stick to the bottom or sides of the pan. After about 10 minutes, take off the lid to allow the sauce to thicken.

Garnish

Once the chicken is cooked through, garnish with spring onion and sprinkle with grated cheese. Let it melt down into melty, cheesy goodness.

Serve

Serve with fluffy white rice, and lettuce or perilla to wrap.

Featuring succulent pieces of Korean spicy chicken stir fried in a mouthwatering Dakgalbi sauce and smothered with melted cheese. Cook it on the stove, or better yet, in the middle of the table surrounded by friends.

Popular in the Chuncheon region of South Korea, Dakgalbi is spicy Korean stir fried chicken usually cooked with rice cakes, cabbage, carrot and sweet potato.

The marinade has a gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste) base paired with the Korean chilli flakes to give it a good heat that will warm your soul without your eyes watering.

While there are versions without cheese, we LOVE the version with the iconic cheese strip down the centre.

You can even freeze the leftovers or turn it into a Dakgalbi fried rice!
