HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, gochugaru (if using), minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

02

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides.

03

Add the sliced onion to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

04

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.

05

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

06

Cover again and continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

07

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of sliced carrots or a few dried shiitake mushrooms (rehydrated) along with the potatoes. Garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs, but reduce cooking time slightly to prevent drying out. Sweet potatoes can replace regular potatoes for a different flavor profile. For a vegetarian version, use firm tofu and vegetable broth.
