Aeri, I have made this recipe a few times and it’s lovely. It’s hard to find the sesame leaves here in Canada (I don’t live in Toronto or Vancouver, hehe), but everything else I’ve been lucky to be able to find.
It makes me miss Korea! I went to Chuncheon JUST for dalkgalbi when I lived in Korea. Korean food is the best, and I love to *try* to cook it! I can do that thanks to you and your recipes. You’re awesome!

Hi, jairus
Nice to meet you!! Oh~~~ you’ve lived in chuncheon, Korea ?? So actually you know what the original chuncheon dakgalbi tastes like..hehe I hope you had many good memories in Korea. Thanks !!! try this someday.
Hi Aeri!
I made this last week and it turned out great! I didn’t have curry powder so I just added more soy sauce, some red pepper powder and mirin to the sauce. Is the flavor slightly different with curry powder?
Hi, patty
wow.. thanks..another happy news..hehe
curry powder gives a little spicy flavor and unique curry powder in it. and maybe help to reduce the chicken flavor a little too. since you added.. a little more mirin and peper powder.. you got the function for curry from them instead.. you said it turned out great..so it worked..right ?? Good job !!
I recently subscribed to your YouTube channel and found this site. Is this recipe the same as Chunchon chicken? It looks familiar. I ate it often in Seoul and even found a restaurant that called itself “Chunchon Chicken”.
Hi, John
If you have chance to try it, please let me know if it’s similar with the one you tried in Korea. thank !!
Aha, yes… it’s considered same as chunchon chicken..but I’m not sure what you will think of it.. since you tried it ..chucnchon chicken restuarnt hehe..
+1 for buldak video
Hi ^^ Max..
Thanks for your comment.
I’m planning to make buldak video someday.
be careful what you wish for, I just went grocery shopping this week…
hi..James..
oops @,@ hehe I wonder what you bought… !!!!!
I used ‘hot curry.’ By themselves I don’t think the ingredients are that spicy but when you combine them it’s very hot. I enjoyed it. I still want to try 불닭! If you want to use the picture it’s OK with me.
Hehe,, James..
I just posted your dakgalbi picture. Thanks… I love to post your Korean food pictures here. Give me more ..more..more..GREEDY Aeri.=P

Hi, James
