Spicy Braised Chicken with Potatoes 닭도리탕

Hey guys, I know that it has been like forever since I last posted a recipe. I feel really bad, but I have been kinda swamped by school work. Even now I am just taking a short break from my maths homework to post this up. If I have time tomorrow or on Sunday I might post another one up.

Anyways, I am going to get straight to what I am going to be posting up today. The dish is going to be a stew. It is Spicy Braised Chicken with Potatoes 닭도리탕 (DAK-DO-RI-TANG). Since it is till quite cold in Korea at the moment, this is the perfect dish to help warm you up against the chill.

Dakdoritang is a traditional braised chicken dish that is full of spices and flavors which are exquisite in taste. Succulent chicken pieces such as thighs, breasts and/or drumsticks are simmered in a base soup where the meat tends to fall off the bones. It is marinated with hot pepper and soy sauce, containing assortments of vegetables such as green & red chili peppers, potatoes, onions and carrots. Some may include jalapeños to this dish in addition to gochujang (red chili pepper paste) which will surely wake up your taste buds. As it can get quite spicy, be sure to eat plenty of steamed rice to offset the heat.

I;m going to head straight into the recipe for this dish because I don't have much time.

Ingredients
1-2 jalapenos (optional)
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp gochujang (red chili pepper paste)
2 tbsp gochugaru (red chili pepper flakes)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp sesame oil
2 green onions
1 tbsp ginger
2 cups water
Salt and pepper

Method
1. Peel potatoes and cut them into eight pieces (cut each potato in half and then cut each half into four quarters).
2. Cut onions the same way as the potatoes.
3. Peel carrot and cut it into lengths about the same size as its width. Cut each slice into four quarters.
4. Slice jalapeño (julienne), if desired.
5. In a heavy pot, combine all ingredients except green onions.
6. Cover and cook for 30-40 minutes over a medium flame.
7. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
8. Chop and add green onions to simmer for 5 additional minutes.
9. Serve hot with rice.

And there you have it, a quick dish that is bound to warm you up in the cold weather.
