KOREAN SPICY CHICKEN STEW (DAKDORI TANG)



Korean Spicy Chicken Stew (Dakdori Tang) image

This recipe, from the Brooklyn chef Sohui Kim, is an ideal one-pot weeknight meal, as everything - chicken included - is thrown into the pot. Soy sauce, fiery gochugaru (Korean dried red-pepper flakes), fish sauce and radish kimchi give this stew a deeply funky, satisfying flavor. During the summer, Ms. Kim grills a few of the chicken pieces (see note) and tosses them into the sauce to braise with the sauce. The kimchi called for here is not cabbage kimchi, it is kkakdugi, sometimes listed as cubed radish kimchi or cubed moo radish kimchi, available at Korean grocery stores.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
8 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup gochujang
3 tablespoons coarse gochugaru
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced (4 cups), or 12 whole baby potatoes
1 cup cubed moo radish kimchi
2 Korean green chiles or 3 Serrano chiles, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 bunch scallions, white parts only, cut into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Make a seasoning paste by mixing the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, gochujang, gochugaru, fish sauce and sugar in a small bowl.
  • In a large sauce pot, combine the chicken with the seasoning paste and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover the pot then reduce the heat so it cooks at a simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and radish and cook for another 15 minutes, covered, on low heat. Add more water if the pot looks dry.
  • Stir in the green chiles and scallions. Let everything cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly. Portion into bowls and serve immediately.

DAKDORITANG (KOREAN SPICY CHICKEN STEW)



Dakdoritang (Korean Spicy Chicken Stew) image

'Dakdoritang' is a chicken dish that's cooked in a spicy red sauce along with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. It's also called 'dakbokkeumtang' or 'dakmaeuntang.' It's usually made by cutting up a whole chicken into small pieces, but I use a combination of chicken thighs and wings. The result is succulent pieces of chicken packed with spicy and savory flavors!

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups water
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine
2 tablespoons Korean red chili pepper paste (gochujang)
2 tablespoons Korean red chili pepper flakes (gochugaru)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 pinch ground black pepper
3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, trimmed of fat and cut into small pieces
10 ounces potatoes, cut into large chunks
2 carrots, cut into large chunks
½ large onion, cut into large chunks
4 large garlic cloves, or more to taste
2 slices fresh ginger, or more to taste
2 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Stir water, soy sauce, rice wine, red chili pepper paste, red chili pepper flakes, honey, sugar, and black pepper together in a large pot; add chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, place a lid on the pot, and cook at a simmer until the chicken is browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, and ginger into the chicken mixture; replace cover atop the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove cover and cook until the chicken is tender and the liquid has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a piece of chicken near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Stir scallions, sesame oil, and sesame seeds into the stew and remove pot from heat.

Steps:

  • Combine the sauce ingredients except sesame oil and seeds, and mix well.
  • Rinse the chicken pieces, drain, and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Press the "Saute" button on the Instant Pot. When the pot is hot, add 1 tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil. Sear the pieces in two batches.
  • Place all the chicken pieces in the pot, and add the potatoes, onion, and carrots. Pour the sauce over, and mix well to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables.
  • Close the lid tightly, and seal the vent. Press the "poultry" function, and using the "+" or "-" button, adjust the time to 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful and tender dakbokkeumtang, use a variety of cuts of chicken, including dark meat and bone-in pieces.
  • Marinate the chicken in the gochujang and gochugaru mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  • Sear the chicken in a hot pan until browned on all sides. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the stew, such as potatoes, carrots, onions, and bell peppers. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the dakbokkeumtang with a bowl of rice and a side of kimchi.
