How to Make Dakgalbi

Dakgalbi used to be our favourite thing to eat at restaurants, but once we learned how to make it ourselves we never went out for it again! Here's our Dakgalbi recipe that we've been tweaking over the years. I hope you like it!

[@joshua92931]

weirdest feeling as a Korean living in California learning a Korean dish from Canadians who live in Korea :D

[@zharawillywonka4438]

I love the sound the duk makes makes when martina drops it in the bowl.

[@njade18]

I absolutely love Martina's cooking vids, they really are my favorite. :) [Umm, PS. I love all of your other vids too.]

[@suzie2qute]

I think I need my own Martina to cook for me. That looks soooooo good!

[@conradhuang4170]

im kind of glad i ate dinner before i watched this because if i hadnt, i would be going crazy in the kitchen trying to make this

[@JimverlyAnne]

I have made this before but i didnt put the leaves and tasted alright but I would like to try making it again with that leaves see if it really makes a big difference this dish looks soooo yummy

[@belleboca5997]

Tried this and it is soooooo good. Switched it with chicken thigh instead. It's good with rice too

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Belle Boca Here in Korea they usually make it with chicken thigh so you nailed it. ;) I just use chicken breast because we buy it in bulk so I always have in frozen. I'm glad you tried it!

[@foodie-vt6bm]

Omg!!!! I'm salivating (looking for drooling emoji) Can you eat it with rice too?

[@oekakinin]

I went to Korea and met up with some hellotalk people. They took me to bukchon and I stayed in a traditional house. :) now I'm in jeonju and they have a bibimbap festival going on!

[@SkyBluu22]

Martina's make-up is on point. (y)

[@houalee8796]

That looks so delicious! Martina, you should have sang the I lost my pants song haha.

[@sillystrings]

This looks amazing. I'm dying.

[@cre8ivelifestyle]

This is great thank you!~♥

[@suciyanthari8355]

what if you dont have korean nor japanese curry mix?

[@Vincent-fh9wo]

HOW DOES ONE SIMPLY RECREATE MARTINAS HAIR ugh ok well I have almost no hair but still

[@HipsterKaren]

Why would you show your students Twilight??

[@bryan7257]

I watched it 5 times and finally got Simon saying "YEAH, WE'RE GONNA BE FARTIN BLOOD TONIGHT!" HaHaHa!

[@7volleyballgurl]

I wish i could find half of those korean ingredients. ;-; and btw im totally avoiding my homework to watch your videos. You bad humans!

[@H4CK41D]

I'd love to make this but I would never be able to source the ingredients from when I live :/

[@conductor637]

Does the cover of the sprinkling curry powder come unscrewed or is it one of the dumb ones.

[@LuffieMoon]

Where did you get the Sailor Moon plates from???

[@AquaAxe]

Where did you get that adorable Mickey Mouse thingy? I WANT ONE! (^-^)

[@spoonb16acrx2003]

can we do without the cheese or is it necessary?

[@NagisaAndHanon]

That reverse cutting was such a mindfuck at 2am @.@

[@eatyourkimchi]

+NagisaAndHanon I wanted to change up the normal boring flow of prepping food. MINDFUUUCCCKKKKEDDDDDD!!!!

[@celenanana]

Your rice cakes look like little packing peanuts lol

[@IvyS1120]

+infinitely exo I was wondering what those were.

[@Arrowdodger]

+infinitely exo They made me think of little snowmen

[@IvyS1120]

Arrowdodger :-) They really did.

[@piglette0928]

Thought it looked like butt cheeks :)

[@XGreenXGurlX]

I thought they looked like diplococci bacteria!...just me?...oh...#biologystudentproblems

[@eatyourkimchi]

Dakgalbi is one of or favourite Korean meals to eat, but we never go out for it anymore. We make it at home instead. Here's how!

[@ZeroHootsGiveth]

I'm coming over geuse! Martina, may I have some?

[@orjanadebie7870]

Your hair looks awesome

[@latranquilagr28]

Looks good is it very spicy because I want to be able to control the heat .TIA 😁🍷

[@euniibear585]

Will give this a try this weekend!

[@jpprincess01]

+Eat Your Kimchi Dont you spell it "dalkgalbi" in English? Because of 닭? Sorry, unsure how it would "translate" i suppose?

[@KimmiMorningstar]

Yay, your wearing the cupcake earnings I made =D (my cousin sent them in a package)

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Kimberly Morningstar I'm glad you noticed! I've worn them before but maybe it was too small to see from far away. :) Thank you so much!

[@KimmiMorningstar]

Your welcome =)

[@teiteika]

For anyone looking for the recipe after the website crashed, here's the quantities from an old version I saved. Hope this helps! Sauce Ingredients: 
2 tablespoons gochujang 2 tablespoons Mirin 
2 curry bouillon cube quarters 1/2 cup hot water 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon soy sauce
 1 tablespoon minced garlic 2 teaspoons sesame oil 1 teaspoon chopped or grated ginger Stew Ingredients: Half a cabbage, chopped (~2 cups) 1 small sweet potato, chopped thin 1 bunch green onions, chopped 6 chicken thighs, diced small ½ package ddeok (korean rice cakes) 1 package enoki mushrooms, base removed (optional)

[@eky72-yt]

Thank you!

[@sohyun8696]

1 1/2 tablespoons gochugaru and 1/2 teaspoon salt

[@teiteika]

@@sohyun8696 oops thank you! I tend to make it without the gochugaru b/c of spice tolerance so my copy of the recipe must have been missing that

[@aldakendall4921]

Bless you

[@kanatraful]

It’s also saved on Internet Archive! You can copy and paste the link that’s in the video description into there, if you don’t have the link bookmarked already.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Someone made English subtitles for this video. I don't know who you are, so I can't thank you directly, but thank you!

[@m.someone6792]

+Simon and Martina You're welcome, thanks for making the video!

[@winnieef]

it was me

[@Aome1414]

Simon and Martina when Martina explained the flavor of it, it sounded like names to a kpop band 😂

[@eatyourkimchi]

Spanish subtitles now up! Thank you again, Tamialuz, for the hard work :D

[@blairlf3119]

Simon and Martina AAaa0

[@michi6725]

Simon and Martina Es genial :D

[@PrincessCece]

Oh my gosh, your reversed food prep confused me so much o_o

[@NicoleBlas]

MORE COOKING VIDEOS!

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Nicole Blas Ok!

[@rxmach]

made this for dinner tonight and my husband loved it! awesome recipe

[@eatyourkimchi]

+rxmach WOOHOO!!! Thanks for the feedback!

[@Xol1004]

I'll take a stab at trying to describe gochugaru (Korean Chilli Pepper flakes). They are not 'capsicum hot', like North Americans are accustomed to cayenne powder. They are more of a 'savory hot', and have a smokier/nuttier kind of heat. They are delicious to cook with, but they ramp up in heat quickly. I add them 1/4 tsp at a time, until I get the intensity that I'm looking for.

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Xol1004 That's a great way to describe it!

[@Shortjascha]

4 years late but it always has a sight fermented taste to me. Also for some reason I can't feel the spice in gochugaru :(((

[@Xol1004]

@@Shortjascha I think you are hitting it tho. The flavor is in the fermented nature that you mention. The fermentation adds a kind od smoky umami nature. For example, when I make rice, I don't add any salt, but I add a half tsp of gochjang into the rice cooker. You should taste the difference against the plain starch if you try that out. Cheers

[@HJF]

Cutting everything backwards, cute bear timer, not sharing your food. 10 out of 10.

[@gomika]

for half a second the chopped vegetables going backwards messed up with my brain hahahaha that was cool and unexpected. gave it a fun touch :)

[@honeybunbadger]

Anyone here in 2020? I have made this dish with Martina's recipe so many times, and I just love rewatching this vid.

[@jonathanbryant7884]

Lol same here. This is one of our favorites!

[@user-kl7xo6jx3q]

How is it?? ☺️

[@honeybunbadger]

I'm back in 2021 and snowy weather always gets me craving dakgalbi!

[@renewu3250]

7:00 Most important part of the video: Remembering to buy the fakest, cheapest of all cheese out there. ;)

[@axyl90]

You know you've been watching EYK for a long time when you remember the gochu story from one of their first TL;DRs. Still hilarious though

[@alidiaz2339]

Didnt you guys share the gochu-twilight in your first ever TLDR? 😂 I had forgotten about it! such a good story

[@Arrowdodger]

No pants cooking is best cooking, just don't burn your leg.

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Arrowdodger That's what an apron in for. :)

[@Arrowdodger]

Eat Your Kimchi indeed, a must

[@adamadamadam12]

One time I was cooking shirtless and the hot oil burned my boob. I didn't wear an apron ;-;

[@TheMaraisaa]

Your new makeup style really looks good on you. Maybe try dark lipstick next time? ^^

[@TheRandomChinwe]

bless you Martina, I demand more cook with Martina segments!

[@jasminechim3636]

Did you do a WTF for click and grow I might want to buy it

[@elsye8678]

I'm so early :3 procrastination does pay off lol *university student avoiding work*

[@TheLoVErOfKPop]

oh Martina, there was the option of taking the lid off instead of vigorously shaking it lol

[@evarooka]

"Oh yeah, we're gonna be fartin' blood tonight!' LOL @2:22

[@hifromthestudio]

While you guys just uploaded this when you woke up, I'm getting ready for bed. Thanks for making me crave food at night, I can't wait to wake up and eat tomorrow 😂

[@sammisquigellz]

I think I actually understood Martina when her mouth was full.

[@miimiiu101]

It's 9:45 here in Toronto and I now want to eat something -0- so hungryyyyyy

[@shhomin149]

this video was edited beautifully, to whoever edited it, and damnn, looks delicious

[@eatyourkimchi]

Thank you!

[@EllieIsaac]

The part where Simon's beard was being licked made me want to grow a beard 😩

[@eatyourkimchi]

Do it! Cats love it :)

[@hoopsiedaisy2806]

More cooking episodes! Please!? :)

[@eatyourkimchi]

I'm glad you like them! We'll make more in the future :)

[@limnamae]

Dear sweet Martina. If you find yourself, someday, being bored, would you then consider to make a tutorial on how to do that eye look you are wearing in this video? It doesn't have to be exactly the same if you want to change some colours, but pretty please? With a cupcake on top?

[@louisebenson9997]

I made this today...and it was amazzzzzingggg. I fear I am now obsessed ^0^

[@eatyourkimchi]

That's awesome!

[@astrangeone]

I should make this, but my parents strongly dislike spicy Korean food, while I'm obsessed.

[@melodyboogie3279]

+astrangeone same omg so true

[@xpo1220]

why did they change eat your kimchi to Simon and Martina ? for the youtube channel

[@CALLMEMONDAY_]

celvin Wong I think they didnt want to change it to eat your sushi 🍣

[@Sarah-zo1yc]

omgg I can never find fresh basil here in korea! def buying the cool robot plant grower!! thank you simon & martina~

[@AlexTuble]

I would really love to Martina "ceremoniously" add something to a recipe one of these days ^^

[@eatyourkimchi]

Italian subtitles on this as well! Thank you, whoever you are, for making them!

+Simon and Martina And now German subs are up, too! Thank you for the help!

[@Ravinia666]

+Simon and Martina You're welcome guise :-)

[@erinlouiseharrison]

your apron is the sweetest thing ever (also your hair is so COOOOOL)

[@AlyssaTaylor9]

Wow that's such an easy and yummy looking meal to make. Lol next time i need to make something I'll just go down to the korean market, throw this together, and impress the pants off of everybody :D

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Alyssa Schiffman Awesome! I'm glad!

[@yikesmo]

+Eat Your Kimchi What does it mean when you guys call eachother "ducky".

[@Laura-ur1wu]

Have you guys ever used toasted sesame oil? For some reason it adds a little more flavor and pizazz to korean dishes. I use a lot of it in bulgogi and korean soups (sometimes even in pancakes......)

[@starzzzy22]

Dakgalbi is LIFE people (especially with ramen or glass noodles in the mix)! Outside of Korea, I'm not sure there's a chicken dish that can compare to it! Thank you for making this video!

[@Eszra]

Someone really loves their cat.

[@djangowilliams5595]

Another Soo Zee coffee challenge? Videos need moar Soo Zee.

I made this for dinner tonight (for the first time) and it was delicious!! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

thanks for the indonesian curry shout out! i just made some rendang for my friend last night haha

[@chajang7292]

+kyeoptawerk93 Indonesian curry is awesome!

[@melodyboogie3279]

I've watched this video about 25 times no joke

[@MmmDinos]

Could I use tofu instead of chicken? I know it would taste a little different, but would it be too too different?? Lol so many questions..

[@MmmDinos]

Nvm, it's addressed in the blogpost!

[@phoebechan192]

I may have squealed at the plates you're using >.>

[@ballinglikechoji6558]

the robot garden part killed me. people are looking at me like I'm crazy I'm crying I laughed so hard

[@ballinglikechoji6558]

@6:38

[@bhellapark]

THIS SEGMENT IS BACK!!!! i love it

[@hashgmrs]

Hey Martina, do you know a good way to make Korean style curry paste? I can't use the cubes cause they all have wheat or barely/rye. Heck, if you did a video on maybe eating gluten free in Korea I would love you both forever. :) P.S- If you guys are ever back in the states you should do a cooking collab with Maangchi.

[@eljohn3]

"What kind of timer do you have?" "It's a bear."

[@keanuk6046]

RaspberryBlue12 rikuma

[@asakithenovice]

Thank you Martina~ I just made it a few hours ago but I didn't put mirin because I can't consume alcohol but I replaced with rice syrup ^^ It was delicious

[@eatyourkimchi]

Great to know the replacement worked! HURRAH!

[@Mintchoco918]

What about a vegetarian version??

[@rubsymoon839]

+MintChoco918 Started thinking about that straight away since my partner is vegetarian! I don't know where you are in the world but Quorn chicken is like a sponge that soaks up flavours great so I'd go for that for a vegetarian one! :D

[@NeoGee]

+MintChoco918 They actually address this in the blog post.

[@rubsymoon839]

Yeh from what I can see it's swapping out things that could have meat or fish, and replace the chicken with a non-meat alternative (pretty standard procedure for vegetarians really!)

[@MsWannabeGamer]

+MintChoco918 It will alter the flavor, but why not add cauliflower? It is something you'd find in a typical curry dish.

[@MoonOffSpringC]

Read the blogpost.

[@kaylahhubbard1939]

I'm still new to your guys channel but think you Martina and Simon you guys inspired me to cook. Now I have to cook this today.

[@genbabez]

I'm guessing enoki mushrooms are not sold at walmart??? Lol😂

[@longnaliu1234]

Lmao. Try your Asian market.

[@matheusd.rodrigues429]

The nearest asian market if 300 Km away from where I live :'(

[@lookapuddle720]

amazon.

[@Shaywkaak]

not that ive tried every single mushroom in the world, but im pretty sure they all taste the same so just thinly cut whatever mushrooms are available to you. shiitake is more widely available i believe and that's a very common asian mushroom so go for that if u want more authenticity lol.

[@mm-qf5px]

Shay I'm no mushroom expert either but I can say that mushrooms do not all taste the same, especially inoki mushrooms. Using any random kind of mushroom like shiitake and cutting them up in to thin slices will not give you the same flavor.

[@GreyEarlTea]

What's that pet name you guys keep using? I hear it as ducky (?) and I'm sure you aren't referring to this, but for some reason I always think of that little dinosaur from the land before time haha, it makes me laugh every time

[@jpprincess01]

I have been watching Simon and Martina for as long as I can remember and I am not seeing a huge improvement in their pronunciation of Korean... Not saying this in a bad way! Just noticing that although it did improve, it still has that odd sound in it, but it is probably because they speak alot of English still

[@jpprincess01]

Oh yeah, I know they wouldnt go to a class for it, but I was hoping that the longer they lived there, the more they would pick up the certain pronunciation of words. But i guess since they travel alot to other places, they arent stuck to just Korean language :/

[@paxiong8299]

+Jasmine Park (박푸른) I honestly think they should make more of an effort to improve their Korean since they are making money from sharing/exploiting Korean culture. I was in Korea for a year and was able to learn some Korean. I took a class offered for free by the government for 3 months. Besides that, their videos are entertaining to watch.

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

+Pa Xiong you guys basically brought the whole tumblr thing here. true but prepare to get deleted/blocked if you talk about it anymore here. haha

[@yellow9321]

"Asians come to live in America all of their lives and still don't speak English. " That's a true statement.

[@AnnaPark90]

I noticed that as well. They just pronounce it as if they were reading a Korean word romanized. It bothers me too. I think all of your points were valid, +Jasmine Park.

[@Cococake13]

I'm loving Martina's bracelet or hair elastic on her wrist. IT'S SO CUTE T-T. And good timing, I was rewatching your past cooking videos and I asked myself when they would release another cooking video. Then I saw this upload. I love you guys so much~ Also, I'll definitely be making this on the weekends. Hope it goes well!

[@kyungieeeeee9477]

I just love these kinds of videos so much 😊 and of course all of your videos lol LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@ChicatsKpopCRO]

OMG THIS LOOKS DELICIOUS!!!! We have to try this for our Korean Cooking Challenge next time! Though in Croatia it will be hard to get some ingredients, we'll make it work :p

[@messhil]

Basil, even Thai Basil, is a horrible substitute to perilla leaves. It won ´t taste like the original dish. Any way this is a great recipe. :)

[@matthewchaffee4365]

Ok guys...I actually just sniffed my phone...wtf

[@jazzysd15]

I would pay for Martina to cook for me. Like when you guys do another tour in the us an option should be a dinner cooked by the eat your kimchi crew. I would pay anything to partake in a Korean meal

[@Zashley123]

I imagine that Northern American sweet potatoes taste different. There are so many sweet potato desserts there that the American palette might not actually crave, unlike Korean pears.

[@gameshoes]

Halp, I can't reassemble this organic matter as demonstrated in the video. :P

[@rin4641]

what kinds of food do you guys eat the most since you guys live in korea? western or asian foods?

[@KristyLee96]

Woot woot. Martina's cooking show is back! Loving ur recipes :D

[@rainberry1756]

so many examples set by your students watching twilight hahahaha

[@MissVampish]

i made this minus the rice cakes and mushrooms and it was amazing. I used tasty cheese because that's what i had in the house and it was awesome.

[@TheClaritee]

Those Sailor Moon plates though. Your house has the cutest/coolest things.

[@ShonaSaurus]

I made this for the second time today! I wasn't very sure about it last time, but I made 2 big mistakes. 1) I accidentally bought reduced salt gochujang and it was really gross, it was my first experience of gochujang and I was convinced it was fermented! It wasn't very nice... 2) I bought tinned perilla leaves (basil didn't make sense in my head) and they were slimy and ruined the whole dish for me! I had cut them into small bits but ended up picking them all out. This time I used normal gochujang and basil leaves and it was DELICIOUS!

[@communistsinthegazebo4457]

i just realised i have that same strawberry jam jar only mine has cumin seeds in it haha

[@CarmenChan]

YAY I love your cooking videos Martina! Please do more of them :3

[@Cayla2015]

Wow a Twilight reference in the last 2 videos? Wow I'm going to have to watch them again while eating this yummy dish!

[@eatyourkimchi]

Yeah, I just noticed that now. Don't worry. No Twilight references in tomorrow's video

[@elizabethpuskarits1761]

Why is the sweet potato so pale, where is the bright orange

[@nicolerok4167]

I made this for my BF tonight, it was DELICIOUS! I actually mixed a little kimchi in too while serving

[@eatyourkimchi]

That’s fantastic to hear! Thank you so much for coming back to the comment section and sharing this with me!

[@spongemuffin2719]

I would love to make this on the weekend! Quick question- what kind of lettuce was used for making wraps? Its nothing like iceberg or romaine lettuce and I'm super curious o O o

[@eatyourkimchi]

+spongemuffin Romaine is okay to use but iceberg is way to watery and weak. If you have a butter lettuce (or boston lettuce?) or even a cabbage that would work well!

[@Shammy82]

I was just thinking the other day... 'Hmm.. Haven't seen a new Martina's Midnight Cooking episode' :D
