Food in Korea -- Galbi

Also known as Korean barbeque, galbi is a very popular Korean dish. Galbi (갈비) literally means "rib" which does not necessarily signify that the meat is cooked. It is generally made of beef ribs, but can also be found in chicken and pork varieties. You may find the typical beef galbi listed on a menu as "so(e)galbi" (소갈비). In establishments where more than one variety of galbi is served, you may see pork galbi as dwaejigalbi (돼지살비) and chicken galbi as dakgalbi (닦갈비) on the menu in order to differentiate between the different types offered.

Galbi is traditionally marinated in soy sauce, garlic and sugar. Don't be fooled by its Korean BBQ moniker, it is not your typical Memphis dry rub BBQ with cornbread and coleslaw. Its typical accmpaniements are lettuce and other leafy vegetables. A red bean sauce is also typically served with galbi for dipping.

Like BBQ, Galbi is a popular picnic dish. Portable stoves and grills are used to cook the meat outdoors.
