Learn Korean with Korean Food #3 – Tteok-galbi (떡갈비) Have you ever heard of Tteok-galbi (떡갈비)? Many people think Tteok-galbi contains rice cake because of its name. Surprisingly, it usually doesn't! Tteok-galbi is a Korean dish made from minced beef or pork mixed with seasonings such as soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, and green onions. The meat is shaped like a patty and grilled until it's juicy and flavorful. The name "tteok" (떡) comes from the soft texture of the meat, not because it contains rice cake. It is one of my favorite Korean dishes because it is tender, sweet, and easy to enjoy with a bowl of warm rice. Korean Words 떡갈비 (Tteok-galbi) = Korean grilled minced meat 고기 (Gogi) = Meat 맛있어요 (Masisseoyo) = It's delicious. 부드러워요 (Budeureowoyo) = It's soft / tender. When I eat Tteok-galbi, I always enjoy it with warm rice and kimchi. It's one of my favorite comfort meals! Have you ever tried Tteok-galbi? Or would you like to try it someday?
