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.

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.

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 fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level to your liking.
  • If you don't have gochujang, you can substitute a mixture of chili paste and soy sauce.
  • Dakdori tang is a great dish to serve with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
  • Leftover dakdori tang can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Dakdori tang is a delicious and easy-to-make Korean stew that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be adjusted to your liking. Whether you are a fan of spicy food or not, dakdori tang is sure to please everyone at the table.
