Dak-galbi

Dak-galbi (Korean: 닭갈비; pronounced), 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, Korean perilla, spring onion, tteok (rice cake), and other ingredients. Lettuce and perilla leaves may be served as ssam (wrap) vegetables. Many dak-galbi restaurants have round hot plates that are built into the tables.
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 when chicken was used as a substitute for pork ribs.
