Dak Doritang and Galbi Jjim. I had another delicious meal the other night. It all starts with a burner, like the one above, placed on the table. Then the food arrives ready to be cooked and later devoured.
The first dish we ordered is called galbi jjim. It’s beef and vegetables simmering in a water watering sauce get everything all nice and tasty. The vegetables include onions, carrots, potatoes, green pepper and different types of mushrooms.
We also ordered the dak doritang which translates as chicken chicken stew. Dori is a Japanese word and in an attempt to get back to their Korean roots the dish is supposed to be called dak bokkumtang or dak maeuntang. In any case its a spicy chicken stew that will leave you begging for more. The stew consists of a whole chicken cut up into chunks, bones and all, along with onions, mushrooms, potatoes, green peppers, and carrots. The dak doritang is spicier than the galbi jjim, but both are must haves while you are in Korea. The meal fed five people and we were all quite content.
The meal also comes with side dishes galore including the above heated egg dish.
