Hwaro Korean BBQ Restaurant

Sogalbi-gui is cooked on a grill, which is placed over fine-textured oak charcoal at a red-hot temperature. Its biggest appeal is the smoky flavor from the charcoal. It is crucial to skillfully score the ribs in order to allow the meat to be thoroughly marinated and grilled without burning. Great care is required as it is not easy to butterfly and score the meat and still keep it attached to the bone. Suwon in Gyeonggi Province is especially famous for Sogalbi-gui. It is said that Hwachunok, which opened in the Yeongdong Market in Paldal-gu in the 1940s, was known as the first Sogalbi-gui restaurant in the region. It is not in business anymore, but the secret to its unique flavor remains, characterized by its method of using salt and sweet pear juice instead of soy sauce. Suwon-galbi, sectioned with an axe, is very large, and the meat attached on both sides of the ribs provides for generous servings
