Dakdoritang is a Korean chicken stew made with chicken drumsticks, chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, and a spicy and savory paste that includes soy sauce, gochugaru, and gochujang. This comforting dish is perfect for warming up during chilly days.
1: In a mixing bowl/the pot you are going to cook with, add low sodium soy sauce, gochugaru, gochujang, sugar, and minced garlic. Mix well until a chunk paste forms then add onions.
2: Before you add your chicken, cut some slits into them. Then add chicken into your paste. Mix well.
3: Then add 2 cups chicken stock. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
4: Meanwhile, prepare your carrots and potatoes. Cut your carrots in large chunks and since you’re using Yukon gold potatoes, cut them in half. If you finish prepping your veggies before the 20 minutes is up, soak potatoes in water to avoid browning.
5: After 20 minutes, add your carrots and potatoes and cook for another 20 minutes. Ensure your veggies are submerged in your broth and baste your chicken with your broth every 3-5 minutes.
6: After 20 minutes, your potatoes and carrots should be fork tender. Turn off heat and top with sliced jalapenos.
