Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings
- 1kg bone-in chicken pieces
- 1/4 head aged kimchi
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 tbsp doenjang (soybean paste)
- 1/2 tbsp gochujang (red pepper paste)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp gochugaru (red pepper flakes)
- 1/3 tbsp chicken stock powder
- Green onion, to taste
- Sesame seeds, generously
Recipe 🍳
- Place 1kg of chicken pieces in a deep pan or pot, add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil.
- Blanch just until the pinkness disappears, then discard all the water and rinse the chicken thoroughly in cold water.
- Return the rinsed chicken to the pan, add 1/4 head of aged kimchi and 3 cups of water (using a paper cup measure).
- Add 1/2 tbsp doenjang, 1/2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp gochugaru, and 1/3 tbsp chicken stock powder to make the seasoning sauce.
- Stir to combine, then simmer gently over medium-low heat for at least 20 minutes until the liquid has reduced and thickened.
- When the sauce is thickened and the chicken is tender, add sliced green onion and sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish.
- Blanch the chicken pieces briefly in boiling water, then rinse well in cold water.
- Place the chicken, aged kimchi, and water in a pan, then mix in the sauce base of soy sauce, doenjang, and gochujang.
- Simmer gently over medium-low heat for at least 20 minutes, then top with green onion and sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
- Blanching the chicken before cooking helps cleanly remove any gamey smell and impurities.
- Since the kimchi already contains abundant seasonings like garlic and vegetables, you don't need to add minced garlic or onion separately for a great taste.
