    Dinner! 2008

    Jjang! Thanks! Gochujang comes in a red tub (or jar, sometimes) but I think you could use any red chili paste to get the flavour, as long as you don't mind the heat. I have a picture of what it looks like here. I think the cilantro is a good choice, because it has a kind of sharp flavour like ganeep, which Koreans use in a lot of their dishes. Is ganeep the same as shiso, does anyone know? They look the same. So how did you learn about Dakdoritang? I've never seen it outside of Korea. ← Hi nakji! Thank you for the gochujang pic, I'll keep searching for it! Nakji I've learned about Dakdoritang looking over the internet for a fried chicken recipe, wanted to prepare something different. I found a recipe for Korean fried chicken and kept looking at this page filled with other Korean recipes, so instead of the fried chicken I ended up making this stew.

    Hiya LaCook! Isn't it an amazing dish? My friend's mom would make it in what seemed to be a square pressure cooker, and I think that's what made it so special, as baking it just doesn't seem to give me the same results. Do you use anything different in it? As I mentioned above, her mom would add green or string beans as an extra layer, but most recipes I see for it, do not contain green beans! ← Hi Lisa! Never heard of using a pressure cooker, intresting technique though. I don't use string beans, but some of my friends do. I don't use anything different, I keep my piñon simple. If I were to use something different, I think I would add a layer of bacon right on top!

    Thanks Mike Hartnett and nakji! Nakji I didn't bake the Dakdoritang, I'll share with everyone how I made it. Please excuse my english it's not 100% there. I am from Puerto Rico but I love to cook food from other countries and this chicken right here is one of my favorite Dakdoritang(Spicy chicken stew) Ingredients Whole chicken cut up into 8 chicken pieces 1 large sized potato cut up large 1 large onion /quatered 1 large carrot cut up 4 garlic cloves minced 1 tbsp kochujang (hot pepper paste) 1 tbsp red pepper flakes or red pepper powder(I put less) 1 Tb tomato paste 3/4 cup of soy sauce (you can put less if you want) 1TB sugar + 1 1/2 TB sugar 1/4 of a cup vegetable oil 2 green onions cut up into 2 inches 2 Tb cilantro well chopped(optional, a must for me) 1 inch piece fresh ginger peeeled and minced 2 cups of water I don't add salt or black pepper because of the soy sauce ant the red pepper. I could not find the kochujang, bought something called ground fresh chili paste that's why I added the tomato paste. Ok, in a hot pot I add the oil, when hot I add 1 Tb of sugar right in the middle, DON'T move it around, wait till the sugar turns into a dark caramel color. Then add the chicken pieces,(move pieces so they get colored) after one side gets the color turn to the other side, then I continue cooking the chicken until it's half way cooked. Into the same pot the rest of the ingredients on the list get added, including the 1 and 1/2 Tbs of sugar. Mix everything well and cook covered over medium flame for about 20 min, then uncover and cook for another 20 minutes. Serve hot with rice, and cucumbers and other vegetables on the side!
