Dak Galbi 닭갈비

This meal has been a favorite of ours since we arrived in Korea over a year and a half ago (what?!?).  Dak Galbi is a stir-fried chicken and rice dish that is traditionally cooked in a large pan right at your table.  Ingredients commonly include cabbage, tteok, potatoes, and lots and lots of spice - we like it hot.  Our world got turned upside down when, out to dinner with some friends to one of our favorite Dak Galbi restaurants, they ordered cheese and ramen to be added to the dish.  It was delicious.  I think I even said,  "this is the best thing I've eaten in Korea".  I may have just been giddy from the incredible flavors, but it really was amazing.  So amazing, if fact, that I didn't even think to snap a photo until it was nearly gone. This is undoubtedly a super easy dish to create at home but I just don't think I would be able to capture the taste in my own kitchen.
