Key takeaways
Dakgalbi (닭갈비) means “stir-fried spicy chicken.” It is made with marinated chicken, vegetables and chewy rice cakes, all stir-fried together on a hot iron plate at your table. The dish is famous in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.
The special sauce made with gochujang brings out the rich, spicy flavor.
Ask for cheese topping or cheese fried rice for extra flavor.

Dak Hanmari (닭한마리) means “one whole chicken.” A whole chicken is boiled with potatoes, green onions and other simple ingredients until tender.
Simple ingredients create the most amazing clear broth. Add kalguksu (hand-cut noodles) or rice porridge after eating the chicken for an extra treat.
