Galbi is the most popular variety of Korean barbecue. It is marinated in a sauce that may contain soy sauce, water, garlic, sugar, and sliced onions. It is believed to taste best when grilled with charcoal or soot (burned wood chips). Joo mul luhk is short steaks marinated with seaseme oil, salt and pepper. It is almost similar to non-marinated Korean barbecue and one thing that distinguishes from other kinds is its steaklike juicy texture. Spicy pork bulgogi is also one of the most famous Korean barbecue dishes, and it is quite different from beef bulgogi because the marinade is not soy sauce-based, but instead consists of gochujang and/or chili powder, garlic, sesame oil, onions, and ground Asian pear. This is also unsuitable for cooking over a grill, and is thus cooked in a pan.
There are two different varieties of Korean barbecued chicken. One is made with marinated chicken, using a marinade similar to that used for galbi, and is grilled, producing a flavor similar to chicken teriyaki. However, a more traditional and popular kind of chicken barbecue more closely resembles a spicy chicken stir fry. It is typically served along with a variety of pan-fried vegetables.
