Sung Si-kyung's Cabbage Dakbokkeumtang

A dakbokkeumtang where chicken skin is crisped to render fat, then simmered down thick with the natural sweetness of cabbage.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Searing the chicken over medium-low heat before adding the sauce melts out savory chicken fat, dramatically deepening the flavor of the broth.
  • Instead of adding too much sugar, using plenty of cabbage infuses the broth with a subtle, natural sweetness that isn't cloying.
  • When braising raw chicken, simmer for at least 40 minutes so the seasoning fully penetrates the meat. It tastes even richer when reheated the next day.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a dakbokkeumtang with deep, rich sweetness from vegetable stock instead of artificial sweetness.
  • Those looking for a generous, satisfying main dish for dinner or entertaining guests.
  • Those who enjoy a thick, stew-style dish combining savory chicken fat with spicy gochujang seasoning.
