Chicken and vegetables

  • 1 kg Chicken I used a mix of chicken drumsticks and thigh fillets, cut into medium sized chunks
  • 1 cup Water
  • 450 g Potatoes cut into medium pieces
  • 150 g carrot cut into medium pieces
  • 190 g Onion cut into medium pieces
  • 3 leaves Perilla thinly sliced
  • 1 stalk Green onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp Roasted sesame seeds

Sauce (mixed in a bowl)

  • 3 tbsp Gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 2 tbsp Gochugaru Korean chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp Rice wine
  • 2 tbsp Light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger minced
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • On medium-high heat, boil some water (5 to 6 cups) in a medium sized pot. Once it’s rolling boiling, parboil the chicken for 1 minute. Drain the water.
  • In a clean pot, add the chicken, sauce and the water. Boil them over medium-high heat for about 10 mins, covered.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots, and onions and boil for a further 7 mins, covered.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and stir gently to change the position of the chicken and the vegetables.
  • Add the perilla leaves. Simmer for a further 8 mins (or until the chicken and the potatoes are fully cooked), covered.
  • Garnish with the green onion and sesame seeds. Serve hot with a bowl of steamed rice.
