떡갈비
Grilled Short Rib PattiesMinced beef short ribs shaped into flat patties and grilled, with a sweet and savory glaze. It's a Gwangju and Damyang specialty that makes premium galbi accessible in an easy-to-eat form. The charred edges are the best part.
How to Eat
Eat with rice and wrap in lettuce like regular galbi. The patty form makes it easier to eat than bone-in galbi. Dip in ssamjang.
Where to Find
Tteok-galbi restaurants in Gwangju, Damyang, and Songjeong. Also available in Seoul at Korean BBQ restaurants.
