Chicken stir-fried in chilli paste on a great iron pan with cabbage, sweet potato and rice cake — finished with fried rice.

Born in Chuncheon in the 1960s as a cheap dish for soldiers and students, dakgalbi is cooked on a cast-iron pan in the middle of your table. When it is nearly finished you ask for rice and seaweed to fry in what remains of the sauce — the best part of the meal. A whole street in Chuncheon sells nothing else.

Flavour: Sweet-hot and full-bodied
