Dak Galbi
''Dak-galbi'' (), or spicy stir-fried chicken, is a popular South Korean dish made by stir-frying marinated diced chicken in a ''gochujang''-based sauce with sweet potatoes, cabbage, perilla leaves, scallions, ''tteok'' (rice cake), and other ingredients. * In Korean, ''galbi'' means rib, and usually refers to braised or grilled short ribs. Dak-galbi is not made with chicken ribs, however, and the dish gained this nickname during the post-War era when chicken was used as a substitute for pork ribs. Many ''dak-galbi'' restaurants have round hot plates that are built into the tables. Lettuce and perilla leaves are served as ''ssam'' (wrap) vegetables. History and etymology This dish was developed in the 1960s as grilled chicken-pieces, an inexpensive '' anju'' accompaniment to alcoholic drinks in small taverns on the outskirts of Chuncheon. It replaced the comparatively expensive '' gui'' dishes which were grilled over charcoal. ''Dak-galbi'' spread to Chuncheon's main distri ...

South Korean Chicken Dishes
South is one of the cardinal directions or compass points. The direction is the opposite of north and is perpendicular to both west and east. Etymology The word ''south'' comes from Old English ''sūþ'', from earlier Proto-Germanic ''*sunþaz'' ("south"), possibly related to the same Proto-Indo-European root that the word ''sun'' derived from. Some languages describe south in the same way, from the fact that it is the direction of the sun at noon (in the Northern Hemisphere), like Latin meridies 'noon, south' (from medius 'middle' + dies 'day', ), while others describe south as the right-hand side of the rising sun, like Biblical Hebrew תֵּימָן teiman 'south' from יָמִין yamin 'right', Aramaic תַּימנַא taymna from יָמִין yamin 'right' and Syriac ܬܰܝܡܢܳܐ taymna from ܝܰܡܝܺܢܳܐ yamina (hence the name of Yemen, the land to the south/right of the Levant).

Andong Jjimdak
''Andong-jjimdak'' () is a variety of ''jjim'' (a Korean steamed or boiled dish), which originated in the city of Andong, North Gyeongsang province and is made with chicken, various vegetables marinated in a ''ganjang'' ( Korean soy sauce) based sauce. Origin There are many speculations on the origin of the dish. One is that it is a specialty food of the inner rich village of Andong during the Joseon period, prepared and eaten for special occasions. Another assumption is that during the 1980s in the ''Dak golmok'' (닭골목, literally "chicken alley") of the "Andong Gu Market," restaurant owners there made a dish including ingredients that regulars demanded, which became the current ''Andong-jjimdak''. The most plausible speculation among existing assumptions is that merchants of the ''Dak golmok'' at the market created the dish to keep their position against the rapid expansion of Western fried chicken shops.

Mak-guksu
''Mak-guksu'' * () or buckwheat noodles is a Korean buckwheat noodle dish served in a chilled broth and sometimes with sugar, mustard, sesame oil or vinegar. It is a local specialty of the Gangwon Province, South Korea and that province's capital city Chuncheon. Jaengban-guksu is a type of makguksu in which buckwheat noodles and various vegetables are mixed in a tray. Ingredients and preparation ''Makguksu'' is closely related to ''naengmyeon'', the archetypal Korean cold noodle dish. However, its differences lie in the high concentration of buckwheat flour in its noodles — the result of the grain being a staple crop in the Gangwon-do area, and the use of greater amounts of vegetables. The dish gets its name "rough noodles" because the buckwheat used is generally unhulled. ''Makguksu'' is usually prepared directly from buckwheat seeds which have been soaked and ground into a paste. Since buckwheat is less glutinous than most grains, buckwheat flour is particularly difficul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
