HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

02

Heat 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

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

04

Add the cubed potatoes and onion chunks to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

05

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more chicken broth or water.

06

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more gochujang or soy sauce to your preference.

07

Garnish with chopped scallions before serving hot with a side of steamed rice.

Chef's Tips

For extra depth of flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of sliced carrots or a few dried shiitake mushrooms (rehydrated and sliced) along with the potatoes. A pinch of sugar can balance the spice if desired.

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs, but adjust cooking time to prevent overcooking. Sweet potatoes can replace regular potatoes for a slightly sweeter stew. For a vegetarian version, use firm tofu and vegetable broth.
