Abstract
What does "galbi" mean?
Galbi
Kalbi or galbi generally refers to a variety of "gui" or grilled dishes in Korean cuisine that are made with marinated beef (or pork) short ribs in a "ganjang"-based sauce (Korean soy sauce). In the Korean language, "galbi" literally means "rib" and can refer to cooked or uncooked ribs. Although the dish's full name is galbi gui, the word ""gui"" (grilling) is commonly omitted. Suwon and Los Angeles are particularly known for their galbi. "Galbi" is generally made with beef ribs, and it may be called ""sogalbi"" (소갈비) or ""soegalbi"" (쇠갈비). The prefix ""so"" or ""soe"" (beef) is often omitted when referring to beef ribs. It is also called "bulgalbi" when grilled over fire. "Galbi" can also be made with pork ribs or chicken; in such cases, the dish is called ""dwaeji galbi"" (돼지갈비) or ""dak galbi"" (닭갈비) to emphasize the main ingredient. It is listed at number 41 on the "World's 50 most delicious foods" readers' poll complied by "CNN Go" in 2011.
