Korean Braised Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 chicken (1.3kg, 3 pounds)
• 2 potatoes,
• 1/2 onion,
• 1 carrot,
• 3 scallions,
• 2 red peppers,
• 3 shiitake mushrooms (optional),
• a handful of dangmyeon (sweet potato starch noodles)

Sauce

• 1/2 cup of soy sauce,
• 1/4 cup of cooking wine,
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar,
• 1 tablespoon of garlic,
• a bit of ginger,
• a bit of pepper

Notes

• Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water. Then the potato color will not change.
• If you cut vegetables too small, they can be easily mash.
• If you want to eat with children, you can omit red pepper and use red bell pepper instead.
• If you don't have brown sugar, you can just use white sugar.
• It is better to use one chicken for the braised chicken stew. If it is difficult to cut a whole chicken, you can use a mixture of chicken drum sticks and chicken thigh.
• Blanching the chicken removes impurities and fat from the chicken and catches the smell of the chicken to some extent.
• If you grill and season the chicken once, the chicken will not come apart easily and the texture will improve. The seasoning is well absorbed and tastes good.
• If you want a spicier taste, you can add a little dried red pepper to it. I tried making it with dried red pepper, but It’s too spicy to me, so I'm omitting it today.
• It should have a slightly salty taste to season the chicken.
