Kim Jin-sun's Soy Sauce Braised Chicken

A delivery-style soy sauce braised chicken that first sears the chicken for Maillard flavor, then uses Jin-ganjang and lao chou (Chinese dark soy sauce) for taste and color.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pre-searing the chicken in a pan causes the Maillard reaction, maximizing savory and umami flavors.
  • Lao chou (Chinese dark soy sauce) is added for color, so it provides the deep color typical of delivery restaurants without making the dish too salty.
  • Soak the glass noodles in advance and add them at the last step to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Miwon can be omitted and the dish will still be delicious; adjust Vietnamese chili powder according to preference.

Recommended for

  • Those who find delivery braised chicken too expensive and want to make a hearty version at home.
  • Those who prefer a dark, rich, umami-packed soy sauce braised chicken.
