Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken (bone-in, cut into chunks)
- 2 pieces Potatoes (medium-sized, peeled and chopped into large chunks)
- 1 piece Carrot (peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 piece Onion (large, chopped into wedges)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2.5 cups Water
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the chicken by rinsing it under cold water and trimming off excess fat. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a large pot, combine the chicken, gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and water. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the potatoes, carrots, and onions to the pot. Stir gently to combine. Cover the pot and let it simmer for another 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary (add more soy sauce or sugar according to preference).
Once everything is cooked through, turn off the heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using).
Serve hot with steamed rice and enjoy!
