HOW TO COOK BULDAK (RECIPE) -Buldak is a Korean chicken dish that has become popular for its hot and spicy taste. Many young people like this dish especially to those Soju lovers because this dish is very good to accompany alcoholic beverages. Its name derived from the Korean term 'Buk' that literally means 'fire' in English and the term 'Dak' is for the chicken. It is really like fire chicken because from the very first bite, you'll feel the very hot and spicy character of this dish. The industry for this dish is rapidly growing because this dish is not old as Kimchi but has earned its very good reputation. Many restaurants and food carts are serving this dish because they find this Buldak thing as a considerable contributor to their growing sales. Soup and stews are served with this dish to suit the taste of the customers. Many restaurants offer many kinds of combo dishes to choose from which the Buldak is the main dish. Almost any part of chicken are used in making this dish. The most common part used is breast and drumstick. Wing is also abundantly used depending on how much per serving the Buldak is offered. Also, many variations of sauce are offered in the market, from super hot and spicy to sweet and sour that kids always love. To me, Buldak is similar to chicken barbecue only this dish is always served with the touch of hot chili from many degrees of hotness.
