Easy Dakdoritang (Spicy Korean Chicken Stew)

Step 1

[Optional] Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Parboil the chicken for 2 minutes, rinse under cold water, and pat dry. This process will remove the smell, excess oil, and impurities from the chicken.

Step 2

Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl. In a large pot over medium heat, add chicken and onion and pour the sauce on top. Toss well to coat and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add water and stir to combine. Cover and boil for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in potatoes and carrots, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove cover, add green onion and chili pepper, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the stew is thickened to your liking.

Step 5

Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh green onions if you prefer, and serve over a bowl of steamed rice. Enjoy!
