1 lb potato (diced)
2 green chilies (sliced)

  • To make the seasoning paste, mix all the seasoning paste ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat with the seasoning. Place the chicken in a braising pan or a deep skillet.
  • Pour the sea kelp stock over the chicken to barely cover them, about 2-3 cup. Bring to med-high heat and let them boil first, then cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Add the onion and carrots to the chicken, toss together. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and simmer again for another 10 minutes. Cooking time will vary depends on the size of your vegetables.
  • When the vegetables are just tender, uncover the pan. Raise the heat to med-high, and cook another 3-4 minutes.
  • Lastly sprinkle chilies, green onion, and heat though. Remove the pan from the heat. Let the stew rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve. The sauce will thicken as the stew rests. Serve the stew with rice.

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!

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

1/4 cup gochujang
3 tablespoons coarse gochugaru

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.

INSTANT POT DAKDORI TANG



Instant Pot Dakdori Tang image

Dakdori tang, sometimes called dakbokkeum-tang, is an easy-to-make Korean braised chicken stew. It gets its deeply savory flavor and brick-red color from gochugaru, Korean red-pepper flakes, and gochujang, the spicy, pungent and sweet fermented red chile paste. Most traditional recipes call for braising bone-in, skin-on chicken parts without browning them first, resulting in a rich dish with a layer of very delicious chicken fat on top. If you prefer a leaner broth, you can remove the skin from half the chicken parts before starting, or simply ladle some of the fat off the top before serving.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2 large potatoes), scrubbed and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 pound carrots (about 4 large carrots), peeled and sliced into 1 1/2-inch chunks
10 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
1 yellow or red onion, roughly chopped
1 long green Korean chile (cheong-gochu) stemmed and thickly sliced (or 1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded and thickly sliced)
1/2 cup gochujang
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons gochugaru (see Tip)
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (from about 2 inches of ginger root)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 1/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks, thighs, or a combination (about 8 to 12 pieces)
4 scallions, sliced
Sesame seeds, for topping
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker, combine the potatoes, carrots, garlic, onion, green chile, gochujang, soy sauce, gochugaru, ginger, sugar, sesame oil and 1 1/2 cups water. Mix well with a spatula to evenly distribute the seasoning with all ingredients. Add the chicken and mix to coat. Close the lid and twist the steam valve to the sealed position. Set to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Turn the pressure cooker off, then do a quick release of the pressure by carefully twisting the steam valve to vent. If you'd like to reduce the liquid, remove the chicken to serving bowls with tongs, then let the stew bubble for a few minutes on the simmer setting. Taste, and add a little more sugar (up to 1 more tablespoon) to round the flavor out to your preference. Serve the stew in bowls topped with scallions and sesame seeds, with rice.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: You can use any vegetables you like in your dakdoritang. Some popular choices include potatoes, carrots, onions, bell peppers, and shiitake mushrooms.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level: If you like your food spicy, you can add more gochugaru (Korean chili powder) or gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the stew. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of these ingredients.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Dakdoritang is typically served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of kimchi or other Korean side dishes.
  • Make a big batch: Dakdoritang is a great dish to make ahead of time. It reheats well and tastes even better the next day.

Conclusion:

Dakdoritang is a delicious and easy-to-make Korean stew that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be made with a variety of vegetables. Dakdoritang is also a great dish to make ahead of time and reheats well. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying stew, give dakdoritang a try.
