Recipe 🍳
- Place bite-sized pieces of tender chicken thigh, potato, green onion, carrot, and cheongyang chili pepper in a large microwave-safe bowl.

- Re-cover with plastic wrap and microwave for another 12 minutes until the noodles and chicken are fully cooked.
- Once done, lightly sprinkle with sesame oil and sesame seeds, and toss everything together.

- Cover with plastic wrap, poke holes, and microwave for 12 minutes.
- Add soaked dangmyeon halfway, microwave for another 12 minutes, and finish with sesame oil and sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
- A very small amount of chunjang gives the dish the deep brown color and rich flavor reminiscent of store-bought Andong jjimdak.
- Do not add dangmyeon from the start; it will absorb all the liquid and become bloated. Add it midway (after 12 minutes) for a chewy texture.
- For a spicier version, add more cheongyang chili pepper or dried chili peppers to adjust the heat.
