Cooking tips
- Adding 1 tablespoon of chunjang gives the dish a rich, restaurant-quality dark color and a deeply savory, mouth-coating flavor.
- Sautéing the fresh chicken in cooking oil before stewing helps prevent the meat from falling apart and maintains a much firmer, chewier texture.
- Using sweet potato instead of soft, fragile potatoes is key—its firmness and natural sweetness enhance the dish significantly.
- When preparing the chicken, be thorough in washing out the inner blood clots and organs to effectively eliminate the characteristic gamey odor.
