Grilled Skewers
Grilling is a form of cooking that involves dry heat applied to the surface of food, commonly from above, below or from the side. Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat, and tends to be used for cooking meat and vegetables quickly. Food to be grilled is cooked on a grill (an open wire grid such as a gridiron with a heat source above or below), using a cast iron/frying pan, or a grill pan (similar to a frying pan, but with raised ridges to mimic the wires of an open grill). Heat transfer to the food when using a grill is primarily through thermal radiation. Heat transfer when using a grill pan or griddle is by direct conduction. In the United States, when the heat source for grilling comes from above, grilling is called broiling. In this case, the pan that holds the food is called a broiler pan, and heat transfer is through thermal radiation. Direct heat grilling can expose food to temperatures often in excess of . Grilled meat acquires a dis ...

Marination
Marinating is the process of soaking foods in a seasoned, often acidic, liquid before cooking. The origin of the word alludes to the use of brine (''aqua marina'' or sea water) in the pickling process, which led to the technique of adding flavor by immersion in liquid. The liquid in question, the marinade, can be either acidic (made with ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice, or wine) or enzymatic (made with ingredients such as pineapple, papaya, yogurt, or ginger), or have a neutral pH. In addition to these ingredients, a marinade often contains oils, herbs, and spices to further flavor the food items. It is commonly used to flavor foods and to tenderize tougher cuts of meat. The process may last seconds or days. Marinades vary between different cuisines. Marinating is similar to brining, except that brining generally does not involve a significant amount of acid. It is also similar to pickling, except that pickling is generally done for much longer periods, primarily as a m ...

Tteok-galbi
''Tteok-galbi'' () or grilled short rib patties is a Korean beef dish made with minced beef short ribs. * Originally a royal dish, ''tteok-galbi'' is now a local specialty of Gyeonggi Province in the central-west region and South Jeolla Province in the south-west region of the Korean Peninsula. Etymology ''Tteok-galbi'' (), literally translated to "cake ribs" as ''tteok'' () means "rice (or other grain) cake" and ''galbi'' () means "rib". The name comes from the food's similarity in appearance to ''tteok''. The process of kneading and shaping the meat is similar to the process of making a rice cake. The final dish is also soft and tender, much like a rice cake in texture. The word ''tteok-galbi'' has a relatively short history that starts in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Before that, the dish was called ''hyo-galbi'' (), meaning "filial piety ribs", or ''no-galbi'' (), meaning "elder ribs", as it was often a dish for older people whose teeth were too weak to bite off meat fr ...

Gopchang
''Gopchang'' (Hangul: ) can refer to the small intestines of cattle (or large intestines of pig) or to a ''gui'' (grilled dish) made of the small intestines. The latter is also called ''gopchang-gui'' (; "grilled intestines"). The tube-shaped offal is chewy with rich elastic fibers. In Korean cuisine, it is stewed in a hot pot ('' gopchang-jeongol,'' 곱창전골), grilled over a barbecue (''gopchang-gui''), boiled in soup with other intestines ('' naejang-tang''), or made into a sausage (''sundae''). In the past, ''gopchang'' was a popular, nutritious, and cheap dish for the general public. Rich in iron and vitamins, it was served as a health supplement for improving a weak constitution, recovering patients, and postpartum depression. Today, ''gopchang'' is also regarded as a delicacy and is more expensive than the regular meat of the same weight. It is a popular '' anju'' (food served and eaten with soju), as it helps break down alcohol. Preparation The intestines are cleaned ...

Samgyeopsal
''Samgyeopsal'' (; ), ''samgyeopsal-gui'' ( ), or grilled pork belly is a type of ''gui'' (grilled dish) in Korean cuisine. Etymology Directly translated from Korean, ''samgyeop-sal'' () means "three layer flesh," referring to striations of lean meat and fat in the pork belly that appear as three layers when cut. It is the part of the abdomen under the loin from the 5th rib or 6th rib to the hind limb. In Korea, the word ''samgyeop-sal,'' meaning "pork belly", often refers to ''samgyeop-sal-gui'' (grilled pork belly), in the same way that the word ''galbi,'' meaning "ribs", often refers to ''galbi-gui'' (grilled beef ribs). ''Gui'' refers to roasted, baked, or grilled dishes. One can also find ''ogyeopsal'' (), with an ''o'' meaning "five" and "gyeop" meaning a layer. ''Ogyeop-sal'' includes the skin part of the pork belly, unlike ''samgyeop-sal'' where the skin is removed. History The first mention of the meat dish was in a ''Donga-ilbo'' article published on November 3 ...

Dak-galbi
''Dak-galbi'' (), or spicy stir-fried chicken, is a popular 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. But Dak-galbi is not actually chicken's rib. 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 Although ''dak'' and ''galbi'' translate into "chicken" and "rib" respectively, the term ''dak-galbi'' does not refer to chicken ribs. 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 districts, where the livestock industry was thrivin ...

Galbi
''Galbi'' * (), ''galbi-gui'' (), or grilled ribs, is a type of ''gui'' (grilled dish) in Korean cuisine. "''Galbi''" is the Korean word for "rib", and the dish is usually made with beef short ribs. When pork spare ribs or another meat is used instead, the dish is named accordingly. ''Galbi'' is served raw, then cooked on tabletop grills usually by the diners themselves. The dish may be marinated in a sweet and savory sauce usually containing soy sauce, garlic, and sugar. Both non-marinated and marinated ''galbi'' are often featured in Korean barbecue. This and many other dishes in Korean barbecue influenced Yakiniku as seen in the use of galbi (coined as karubi). Preparation Cuts and marination Traditionally, ''galbi'' is cut to expose one smooth bone along the short edge with the meat uniformly filleted in flat layers. An alternative cut, "LA ''galbi''", also known as a flanken cut, features cut bones peeking out along the long edge. The method was developed by Korean ...

Bulgogi
''Bulgogi'' (불고기; ; from Korean language, Korean ''bul-gogi'' ), literally "fire meat", is a ''Gui (food), gui'' (구이; Korean-style grilled or roasted dish) made of thin, marination, marinated slices of meat, most commonly beef, grilled on a barbecue or on a stove-top griddle. It is also often stir-fried in a pan in home cooking. Sirloin steak, Sirloin, rib eye steak, rib eye or brisket are frequently used cuts of beef for the dish. The dish originated from northern areas of the Korean Peninsula, but is a very popular dish in South Korea, where it can be found anywhere from upscale restaurants to local supermarkets as pan-ready kits. Etymology Bulgogi came from the Korean word ''bul-gogi'' (), consisting of ''bul'' ("fire") and ''gogi'' ("meat"). The compound word is derived from the Pyongan dialect, as the dish itself is a delicacy of Pyongan Province, North Korea. After the National Liberation Day of Korea, liberation of the Korean Peninsula from Korea under Japa ...

Korean Barbecue
Korean barbecue ( ko, 고기구이, ''gogi-gui,'' 'meat roast') is a popular method in Korean cuisine of grilling meat, typically beef, pork or chicken. Such dishes are often prepared on gas or charcoal grills built into the dining table itself. Some Korean restaurants that do not have built-in grills provide customers with portable stoves for diners to use at their tables. Alternatively, a chef uses a centrally displayed grill to prepare dishes that are made to order. The most representative form of ''gogi-gui'' is ''bulgogi,'' usually made from thinly sliced marinated beef sirloin or tenderloin. Another popular form is ''galbi,'' made from marinated beef short ribs. However, ''gogi-gui'' also includes many other kinds of marinated and unmarinated meat dishes, and can be divided into several categories. Korean barbecue is popular in its home country, but has also gained popularity worldwide. History Korean BBQ was founded between 37 B.C. to 668 A.D. It was initially called “ ...

Gui (food)
In Korean cuisine gui or guee () is a grilled dish. Gui most commonly has meat or fish as the primary ingredient, but may in some cases also have grilled vegetables or other vegetarian ingredients. The term derives from the verb ''gupda'' (), which literally means "grill". At traditional restaurants, meats are cooked at the center of the table over a charcoal grill, surrounded by various ''banchan'' and individual rice bowls. The cooked meat is then cut into small pieces and wrapped with fresh lettuce leaves, with rice, thinly sliced garlic, ''ssamjang'' (a mixture of ''gochujang'' and ''dwenjang''), and other seasonings. The suffix ''gui'' is often omitted in the names of meat-based ''gui'' such as ''galbi'', whose name was originally ''galbi gui''. Types Meat Meat-based grilled dishes are collectively called ''gogi gui'' (). * Bulgogi (): thinly sliced or shredded beef marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, green onions, and black pepper, cooked on a grill (so ...

Korean Cuisine
Korean cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Originating from ancient agricultural and nomadic traditions in Korea and southern Manchuria, Korean cuisine reflects a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends. Korean cuisine is largely based on rice, vegetables, seafood and (at least in South Korea) meats. Dairy is largely absent from the traditional Korean diet. Traditional Korean meals are named for the number of side dishes (반찬; 飯饌; ''banchan'') that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is served at nearly every meal. Commonly used ingredients include sesame oil, ''doenjang'' (fermented bean paste), soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, ''gochugaru'' (pepper flakes), '' gochujang'' (fermented red chili paste) and napa cabbage. Ingredients and dishes vary by province. Many regional dishes have become national, and dishes that were once regional have proliferated in different variations ...

Yakiniku
''Yakiniku'' (焼き肉 or 焼肉), meaning "grilled meat", is a Japanese term that, in its broadest sense, refers to grilled meat cuisine. "Yakiniku" originally referred to western "barbecue" food, the term being popularized by Japanese writer Kanagaki Robun (仮名垣魯文) in his ''Seiyo Ryoritsu'' (i.e. "western food handbook") in 1872 (Meiji period). The term later became associated with Korean-derived cuisine (Korean Barbecue) during the early Shōwa period. Due to the Korean War, the terms associated with Korea in Japan were divided into North Korea (Kita Chōsen) and South Korea (Kankoku); the reference to a "yakiniku restaurant" arose as a politically correct term for restaurants of either origin. Today, "yakiniku" commonly refers to a style of cooking bite-size meat (usually beef and offal) and vegetables on gridirons or griddles over a flame of wood charcoals carbonized by dry distillation (''sumibi'', 炭火) or a gas/electric grill. It is one of the most popular ...
