Baek Jong-won's Chicken Rice Bowl

Cooking tips 💡

• To eliminate any gamey smell and enhance richness, it's essential to first sear the chicken skin-side down, allowing it to fry in its own fat—this step is crucial.
• If using chicken breast instead of drumstick, which has less natural fat, increase the initial amount of vegetable oil slightly to prevent dryness.
• For a deeper, authentic umami flavor reminiscent of a Japanese restaurant specialty, follow Chef Baek Jong-won’s recommendation and use katsuobushi or easily available smoked anchovy powder.
• For a moist, glossy broth texture, pay attention to heat control while boiling the sauce, and after adding the egg, finish by letting it sit on residual heat or low flame briefly to achieve a soft-boiled consistency.
