    Dakbokkeumtang Korean Chicken Stew

    Dakbokkeumtang Korean Chicken Stew. This is a delicious hearty and mild version of Korean Spicy Chicken Stew! It's a wonderful comforting dish perfect for dinner and leftovers for lunch!

    This Korean braised chicken stew only takes 30 minutes to make, believe it or not! The trick is using boneless chicken thighs. As meat with bones in usually requires a lot more cooking time.

    For this Korean dakbokkeumtang, you'll need organic chicken thighs, onion, green onion, carrots, potatoes and water. As for the sauce, it requires Korean gochujang paste, sugar, soy sauce, garlic and sesame oil.

    Mild Korean Chicken Stew

    This mild version was actually tolerable for my husband who can't take spicy food. I made it mild by removing the Korean Red Pepper Flakes that is usually included in most recipes for Dakbokkeumtang. So this Korean chicken stew is not spicy compared to most!

    Where can I buy Korean Gochujang?

    You can usually source this from any Korean or Asian grocer. You can also purchase it online but I would recommend getting it from a store as it is significantly cheaper (about $5-7 CDN). Gochujang is a special korean chili paste so you can't substitute with another paste unfortunately.

    For this recipe

    You will need the following ingredients for my dakbokkeumtang recipe:

    • 4 skinless boneless chicken thighs
    • 1 cooking onion chopped
    • 1 carrot chopped
    • 4 small yellow russet potatoes peeled and quartered
    • 2-3 cups water
    • 1 tsp avocado oil
    • 1 green onion stalk chopped

    Sauce:

    • 1 tbsp gochujang paste
    • 1 tbsp sugar
    • 2 tbsp soy sauce
    • ½ tbsp garlic minced
    • ½ tbsp sesame oil

    How to make Dakbokkeumtang

    • In a small bowl, mix together sauce ingredients.
    • In a medium size pot set over medium high heat, add avocado oil. Add onions and fry until soft and translucent. Then add chicken thighs and brown them.
    • To the pot, add potatoes, carrots and fry for 1-2 minutes. Then add water, sauce and mix well. Cover with a lid and bring this to a boil. Then reduce to a rolling simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked. At the end, add in green onions.
