KOREAN SPICY CHICKEN AND POTATO (TAK TORITANG)



Korean Spicy Chicken and Potato (Tak Toritang) image

A very easy meal to make! Chicken drumettes, potato, carrots, and onion simmer in a spicy sauce that goes best with white rice. You can find Korean hot pepper paste in a Korean/Asian market. I haven't tried looking in a grocery store. Its Korean name is 'gochujang'. Serve with hot cooked rice.

DAKDORITANG (KOREAN SPICY CHICKEN STEW)



Dakdoritang (Korean Spicy Chicken Stew) image

'Dakdoritang' is a chicken dish that's cooked in a spicy red sauce along with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. It's also called 'dakbokkeumtang' or 'dakmaeuntang.' It's usually made by cutting up a whole chicken into small pieces, but I use a combination of chicken thighs and wings. The result is succulent pieces of chicken packed with spicy and savory flavors!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups water
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine
2 tablespoons Korean red chili pepper paste (gochujang)
2 tablespoons Korean red chili pepper flakes (gochugaru)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 pinch ground black pepper
3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, trimmed of fat and cut into small pieces
10 ounces potatoes, cut into large chunks
2 carrots, cut into large chunks
½ large onion, cut into large chunks
4 large garlic cloves, or more to taste
2 slices fresh ginger, or more to taste
2 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Stir water, soy sauce, rice wine, red chili pepper paste, red chili pepper flakes, honey, sugar, and black pepper together in a large pot; add chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, place a lid on the pot, and cook at a simmer until the chicken is browned, about 15 minutes.

Remove cover and cook until the chicken is tender and the liquid has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a piece of chicken near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Stir scallions, sesame oil, and sesame seeds into the stew and remove pot from heat.

KOREAN SPICY CHICKEN STEW (DAKDORI TANG)



Korean Spicy Chicken Stew (Dakdori Tang) image

This recipe, from the Brooklyn chef Sohui Kim, is an ideal one-pot weeknight meal, as everything - chicken included - is thrown into the pot. Soy sauce, fiery gochugaru (Korean dried red-pepper flakes), fish sauce and radish kimchi give this stew a deeply funky, satisfying flavor. During the summer, Ms. Kim grills a few of the chicken pieces (see note) and tosses them into the sauce to braise with the sauce. The kimchi called for here is not cabbage kimchi, it is kkakdugi, sometimes listed as cubed radish kimchi or cubed moo radish kimchi, available at Korean grocery stores.

Tips:

  • For the chicken, use a combination of dark and light meat for a more flavorful dish.
  • If you like your chicken extra crispy, double-coat it in the cornstarch mixture.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Use a large pot for the stew so that there is plenty of room for the chicken and potatoes to simmer.
  • Add the gochujang paste gradually and taste the stew as you go to adjust the heat level.
  • Serve the stew with rice and a side of kimchi for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This Korean spicy chicken and potato stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, while the potatoes are tender and absorb all of the delicious sauce. The stew is also packed with vegetables, making it a healthy and satisfying meal.
