Gui (Korean: 구이; Korean pronunciation: [kuː.i]) refers to grilled dishes in Korean cuisine.[1] Gui most commonly has meat or fish as the primary ingredient, but may, in some cases also have grilled vegetables or other vegetarian ingredients. The term derives from the verb gupda (굽다), which literally means "grill".[2][3] At traditional restaurants, meats are cooked at the center of the table over a charcoal grill, surrounded by various banchan and individual rice bowls. The cooked meat is then cut into small pieces and wrapped with fresh lettuce leaves, rice, thinly sliced garlic, ssamjang (a mixture of gochujang and dwenjang), and other seasonings. The suffix gui is often omitted in the names of meat-based gui such as galbi, originally named galbi gui.

Meat
editMeat-based grilled dishes are collectively called gogi gui (고기구이).
- Bulgogi (불고기): thinly sliced or shredded beef marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, green onions, and black pepper, cooked on a grill (sometimes at the table). Bulgogi literally means "fire meat."[4] Variations include pork (dweji bulgogi), chicken (dak bulgogi), or squid (ojingeo bulgogi).
- Galbi (갈비): pork or beef ribs, cooked on a metal plate over charcoal in the centre of the table.[5] The meat is sliced thicker than bulgogi. It is often called "Korean barbecue" along with bulgogi, and can be seasoned or unseasoned. A variation using seasoned chicken is called dak galbi.
- Samgyeopsal (삼겹살): Unseasoned pork bacon cut from the belly,[5] served in the same fashion as galbi. Sometimes cooked on a grill with kimchi together at either side. Commonly grilled with garlic and onions, dipped in ssamjjang and wrapped in lettuce leaves.
- Dakgui (닭구이): grilled chicken[6]
- Saengchi gui (생치구이): grilled pheasant[7]
Offal
editGui made with pig or cow's intestines is collectively called naejang gui (내장구이) or yang gui (양구이).
- Makchang gui (막창구이): grilled pork large intestines prepared like samgyeopsal and galbi, and often served with a light doenjang sauce and chopped scallions. It is very popular in Daegu and the surrounding Gyeongsang region.
- Gopchang gui (곱창구이): similar to makchang except prepared from the small intestines of pork (or ox)[8][9]
