​

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (approximately 800g)​
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks​
  • 1 large onion, cut into wedges​
  • 1/2 large carrot, sliced thickly​
  • 3 green chili peppers, sliced​
  • 1 stalk green onion, chopped​
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced​
  • 200ml milk (for soaking the chicken)​
  • Optional: Dangmyeon (Korean glass noodles), soaked in water​

For the sauce:

  • 8-11 tablespoons soy sauce​
  • 4 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)​
  • 2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)​
  • 6 tablespoons corn syrup or sugar​
  • 1/2 onion, grated​
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine (cheongju)​
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce​
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper​
  • Optional: 400-600ml water or broth (adjust based on desired consistency)​

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Clean the chicken pieces thoroughly, removing excess fat.​
    • To reduce any gamey odor, soak the chicken in milk for about 30 minutes. After soaking, rinse under cold water and drain.

  2. Optional Parboiling:

    • Place the chicken in a pot of boiling water and blanch briefly. Drain and rinse with cold water. This step can help remove impurities, but it's optional based on preference.​

  3. Make the Sauce:

    • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, gochugaru, corn syrup (or sugar), grated onion, minced garlic, rice wine, fish sauce, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth sauce.​

  4. Cook the Chicken:

    • In a large pot, place the chicken pieces and pour the sauce over them. Add 400-600ml of water or broth, depending on how much sauce you prefer.​
    • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to medium heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.​

  5. Add Vegetables:

    • Add the potato chunks and carrot slices to the pot. Stir to ensure they're submerged in the sauce. Cover and continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.​

  6. Final Touches:

    • Add the onion wedges, green chili peppers, and soaked dangmyeon (if using) to the pot. Stir gently and let it cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the noodles are cooked.​

  7. Garnish and Serve:

    • Sprinkle chopped green onions over the dish. Drizzle with a bit of sesame oil for added fragrance, if desired.​
    • Serve hot with steamed rice and enjoy your flavorful Dakbokkeumtang!​

Tips:

  • Adjust the spiciness by modifying the amount of gochugaru and gochujang to suit your taste.​
  • For a deeper flavor, consider adding seafood like shrimp or squid during the cooking process.​
  • Ensure the potatoes are cut into large chunks to prevent them from breaking down too much during cooking.​

Enjoy this hearty and spicy Korean classic that brings warmth and comfort to any meal!
