Recipe 🍳

  1. Soak the dangmyeon in cold water in advance before starting.
  2. Blanch the siregi in boiling water, then squeeze out excess water and mix with 1 tbsp of doenjang to season.
  3. Heat cooking oil in a pan, add chicken thighs and minced ginger, and sear until the surface is golden brown.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, add enough water to just cover the bottom, then add the seasoned siregi.
  5. Season with gochugaru, soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, 1 tbsp of doenjang, gochujang, beef dashida, minced garlic, and pepper.
  6. When the broth starts to boil, add the potato cut into large chunks, onion, green onion, cheongyang chili peppers, and bunmyeon (or rice cakes).
  7. Cover with a lid and simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes until the ingredients are well infused with the sauce.
  8. Finally, add the soaked dangmyeon and chicken stock, reduce until the dangmyeon becomes translucent, then sprinkle with perilla seed powder to finish.
  1. Soak dangmyeon; blanch siregi and mix with doenjang.
  2. Sear chicken thighs with ginger in oil, then add water, siregi, and all seasonings.
  3. Add vegetables and bunmyeon, boil for 10 minutes, then add dangmyeon, chicken stock, and perilla seed powder to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Adding minced ginger when searing the chicken thighs helps effectively remove any gamey smell from imported chicken.
  • Substituting sweet potatoes for potatoes adds a sweet twist and different flavor.
  • Leftover sauce can be mixed with rice and seaweed flakes for an extra delicious meal.
