Every time I watch Maangchi’s video recipes my mouth can’t stop watering until I’ve surrendered to defeat and make the dish just so I can try it. The Dak Galbi was one of those dishes which I made tonight. It turned out so good! Spicy, savory and perfect over rice.
Have a cool photo you want to share?
Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking. my first book has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes.

You served this over rice? Did you make it without rice cakes?
Yes! I served it over rice and made it without the rice cakes.
Thanks! I hadn’t thought about doing it that way until I saw your comment, and couldn’t identify any rice cakes in the picture.
My wife asked why I didn’t make rice to go with it the first time I made this dish (though it was from a recipe on another site), and I had to explain what the rice cakes were.
I think I’m going to have to try it this way, and see if she likes it better. Having steamed rice to offset the spiciness might be good for her preferences. :-)
