Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)
Cooking Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the stew, as it will help distribute heat evenly and prevent burning.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of gochujang or use a mild variety.
- You can also add other vegetables to the stew, such as mushrooms or zucchini, to make it even more nutritious.
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Stir in the gochujang, soy sauce, and sugar, and cook for another minute.
4. Add the potatoes, carrots, and chicken broth to the pot, and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6. Serve the stew hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
