안녕! 외국인 친구들~
약간의 매운맛 정도 즐길수 있는 친구라면 한국에서 꼭 먹어봐야할 음식 중 하나인 닭갈비를 소개할께요.
닭갈비는 닭고기와 채소,떡,면 등을 철판에 볶아서 먹는 한국식 바베큐라고 생각하면 좋을거같아.
보통은 매콤한 고추장 양념에 재운 닭고기를 야채와 떡,고구마,우동 등을 같이 볶아서 먹는 한국요리에요.
갈비라고 하니 뼈가 있다고 생각할수 있지만 실제로는 뼈가 없는 닭다리살이나 닭가슴살을 사용해서 만들기때문에 먹기도 편한 음식이에요.맛있는 집들은 보통 야들야들한 닭다리살로만 사용하는 경우가 많아요.
Hello, my foreign friends!
If you can handle a little bit of spiciness, I’d love to introduce you to Dakgalbi, one of the must-try dishes in Korea!
Dakgalbi is a Korean-style stir-fried barbecue dish made with chicken, vegetables, rice cakes, and noodles cooked together on a large iron plate.
It’s usually prepared with bite-sized pieces of chicken marinated in a spicy gochujang (Korean red chili paste) sauce, then stir-fried with vegetables, chewy rice cakes, sweet potatoes, and udon noodles.
Even though the name "galbi" might make you think it has bones, dakgalbi is actually boneless! It’s typically made with chicken thigh or breast meat, making it super easy to eat. The best places often use only tender chicken thigh meat for an even more delicious and juicy texture. 😋🔥

닭갈비는 1960년대 한국에 강원도 춘천이라는 지역에서 시작되서 돼지고기 대신 닭고기를 저렴한 가격에 양념해서 숯불에 구어먹는 요리였는데 이게 인기가 많아지면서 철판에 볶아먹는 철판닭갈비로 바뀌게 되었어요. 그래서 지금도 춘천에 가면 닭갈비 거리가 있을정도로 닭갈비가 유명한 곳은 춘천이라고 할수있어요.
서울에 놀러왔는데 춘천까지 가기 번거롭다 생각한다면 걱정마세요.
서울에도 유명한 체인점이 많이 있습니다.
명동 닭갈비나 유가네 닭갈비가 많이 분포되어 있으니 가까운데에서 맛보셔도 충분할꺼에요.
Dakgalbi originated in Korea in the 1960s in a region called Chuncheon, located in Gangwon Province. Initially, it was a dish where chicken was marinated and grilled over charcoal as a more affordable alternative to pork. However, as its popularity grew, the dish evolved into the iron plate stir-fried version we know today.
Even now, Chuncheon is famous for dakgalbi, and there’s even a “Dakgalbi Street” where you can find numerous restaurants specializing in this delicious dish!
But don’t worry if you’re visiting Seoul and don’t have time to travel all the way to Chuncheon. There are plenty of famous dakgalbi chain restaurants in Seoul as well. You can easily find popular spots like Myeongdong Dakgalbi or Yugane Dakgalbi, which are widely available throughout the city. So, you won’t miss out on tasting this amazing dish! 😊🔥

보통은 닭갈비 가게에 가면 직원분이 직접 다 볶아서 해주시기 때문에 우리가 볶아야 하거나 하는일은 잘 없어요.
잘 익혀주신 닭갈비를 맛보고 나면 양념을 다 먹지말고 남겨뒀다가 거기에 밥을 넣고 노릇하게 볶아주는 볶음밥까지 꼭 드셔야해요. 마무리를 탄수화물로 해줘야 든든해지니까요^^
마지막 볶음밥은 놓칠수 없는 한국인의 밥심입니다.
When you visit a dakgalbi restaurant, you usually don’t have to worry about cooking it yourself. The staff will expertly stir-fry everything for you, so all you need to do is sit back and enjoy!
Once you've savored the delicious, spicy chicken, don’t finish all the sauce just yet! Save some of that flavorful seasoning because you absolutely must try the fried rice at the end. The staff will mix rice into the remaining sauce and stir-fry it until it becomes golden and crispy.
Ending your meal with fried rice is a must—it's the perfect way to wrap up the experience and keep you feeling satisfied. After all, Koreans love their rice, and this final touch is an essential part of the dakgalbi experience! 🍚🔥😋
So, when you try dakgalbi, make sure to leave room for the fried rice! Trust me, you won’t regret it! 😉
철판닭갈비가 이런 비주얼 이였다면 원래 닭갈비의 시초였던 숯불 닭갈비는 이런 스타일입니다.
간장 양념이 되어있는 닭다리살을 숯불 불판위에 올려 익혀먹는 스타일인데요.
숯불향이 배어서 너무 맛있지만 철판 닭갈비보다 양이 적게 느껴지는게 단점이에요.
If iron plate dakgalbi looks like this, then the original charcoal-grilled dakgalbi, which was the very first version of the dish, has a completely different style.
Instead of stir-frying with spicy sauce, charcoal-grilled dakgalbi features soy sauce-marinated chicken thigh meat, grilled directly over a charcoal fire. The smoky aroma from the charcoal adds an incredible depth of flavor, making it absolutely delicious.
However, one downside is that compared to iron plate dakgalbi, the portion might feel a bit smaller. Since it’s grilled piece by piece rather than mixed with vegetables and other ingredients, it may not feel as filling. But if you love smoky, grilled flavors, this is a must-try version of dakgalbi!
같이 사이드로 주문했던 감자전인데 노릇하게 너무 맛있게 생겼죠?
간장닭갈비를 치즈에 찍어먹으면 또 별미니까 혹시 먹을수 있는 기회가 있다면 치즈 추가 해주세요!
Here’s the potato pancake (gamjajeon) we ordered as a side—doesn’t it look perfectly golden and crispy? 😍
And here’s a pro tip for charcoal-grilled soy sauce dakgalbi: dip it in melted cheese!
The combination of the smoky, savory chicken with creamy, gooey cheese is an absolute game-changer. If you ever get the chance to try it, don’t forget to add cheese for an extra indulgent experience! 😋💛
여기에 술한잔이 빠질수 없죠.
막걸리 한잔을 같이 곁들여서 만족스러운 식사가 되었어요.

Of course, no meal is complete without a drink to pair with it! 🍶✨
A glass of makgeolli (Korean rice wine) was the perfect match for this meal, making it even more satisfying. The slight sweetness and refreshing taste of makgeolli go so well with the smoky and savory flavors of dakgalbi—it’s a must-try combination!
