Easy Dakbokkeumtang (Korean Chicken Stew)
Description
This Korean stew combines quartered boneless chicken thighs with diced onion, chopped carrot, and quartered russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. The sauce includes gochujang paste, soy sauce, minced garlic, granulated sugar, and toasted sesame oil, mixed together to balance sweetness, heat, and umami.
The stew begins by sautéing onions and browning the chicken in vegetable oil, then adding the potatoes and carrots briefly before pouring in the sauce mixed with chicken stock or water. It simmers covered to meld flavors and cook the chicken through, resulting in a thickened, flavorful broth with soft vegetables and tender chicken pieces.
Garnished with chopped green onions, this stew is typically enjoyed with steamed rice, making it a filling and warming meal with a balanced heat and savory depth.
