Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings
- chicken pieces 1kg
- water 3 cups (measured in paper cup)
- soybean paste generous 1 tablespoon
- gochujang 0.5 tablespoon
- light soy sauce 2 tablespoons
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- red pepper powder 2 tablespoons
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- chicken stock 0.5 tablespoon
- potatoes 2 (small ones)
- onion 0.5
- green onion 1
- perilla leaves 5~6 pieces
- perilla seed powder 2~3 tablespoons
Recipe 🍳
- Blanch the chicken pieces in boiling water for 1–2 minutes until the surface bloodiness disappears, then rinse thoroughly under cold water.
- Place the blanched chicken and 3 cups of water into a pot. Mix in 1 tablespoon of soybean paste, 0.5 tablespoon of gochujang, 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of red pepper powder, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 0.5 tablespoon of chicken stock to form the seasoning mixture.
- Bring to a medium simmer and stir occasionally so the chicken is evenly coated. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the broth reduces by half.
- Once the broth thickens slightly, add large chunks of potatoes, onion, and green onion, pressing them down between the chicken pieces so they cook fully in the sauce.
- Continue simmering on medium-low heat for another 10 minutes, until the potatoes are fully cooked and the starch has been released into the broth.
- Finally, tear the perilla leaves roughly and add them to the pot. Sprinkle 2–3 tablespoons of perilla seed powder to taste, mix well, and serve.
- Blanch chicken pieces in boiling water for 1–2 minutes, then rinse. Add to a pot with water and all seasoning ingredients. Simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
- When the broth reduces, add large chunks of potatoes, onion, and green onion. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are fully cooked, add perilla leaves and perilla seed powder to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Blanching the chicken removes any off-flavors and impurities cleanly.
- Adding potatoes to the stew releases starch, making the broth richer and thicker.
- Perilla leaves and perilla seed powder can be omitted, but adding them greatly enhances the aroma and overall flavor of the dish.
