Korean Chilli Chicken Stew (Dakbokkeumtang-style)

A comfort dish found in many Korean households. Think of it as Korea’s answer to a warm chicken and potato stew—with a gentle spicy-savoury kick, similar to a light red curry.

Ingredients: 

  • 500g chicken (bone-in or thigh fillets)

  • 1–2 potatoes, cut into chunks

  • 1 cup water

  • Spring onion (garnish)

  1. In a pot, combine chicken, potatoes, onion, sauce, and water.

  1. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat.
