Dakbokkeumtang isone of my comfort food from Korea!
It’s very hearty, warm feeling & aways brings me a great memories of family & friends!
Dakbokkeumtang isKorean spicy chicken stew with simple vegetables such as potato, carrot and onion. The dish has all simple western style ingredients but the seasoning is totally different. So it is a great way to try new flavor with familiar ingredients with you! 😀
Dakbokkeumtang used to called by Dakdoritang.
Korea changed the dish’s name because ‘dak’ means chicken in Korean and ‘dori’ also means chicken in Japanese. We figured that the name doesn’t make sense at all as Korean gramma so the dish’s name is Dakbokkeumtang now on.
We normally serve this dakbokkeumtang with warm cooked rice, kimchi and more other side dishes.
For me, kimchi is all I need as a side for this delicious Dakbokkeumtang!
Dakbokeumtang, rice and kimchi, I’m set! lol
I hope you guys enjoy my recipe and please try it before the weather get too hot for your family, friends and even for yourself!!

Have you ever tried this in a slow cooker or instant pot? This looks delicious…thanks for another winner!

I never have, but I think it’s possible. Any bone-in chicken recipes for slow cooker recipe cooking time and temperature would work I think! 🙂

I don’t think I have rice wine available in my area. Can I skip it? Or what should I just use instead of rice wine? 🙁

You can skip and use water instead.

Vinegar — plain white vinegar. But I bet you do have rice vinegar in your area. Check out the international section. It’s pretty common these days.

Can I substitute anything for the Gochugaru; for example red pepper flakes?
Reply
SeonkyoungApril 13, 2016 at 7:08 pm
You can, but the look won’t be same. Gochugaru give a lot of heat and the color same time. In my experience, red pepper flakes doesn’t give the color any near… But for this recipe, most of color coming from Gochujang, you can use either red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for extra kick. 🙂

I made this tonight and it was so good!!! I’ve tried a different recipe before but it wasn’t great and was missing depth of flavor. This recipe definitely hit the spot and will be my new go-to! However, the sauce ended up burning in the bottom of my Dutch oven even though I stirred frequently for the first 20 minutes, so sadly there was barely any stew at the end. How do I prevent this from happening next time?

So happy to hear that Jenny!!! Next time, maybe add 1/4 cup of water- that will definitely help!

We have had this FOUR times already and I’m making it again in two batches for Sunday dinner! It’s sweet from the carrots and onions and spicey from the sauce and it’s so hearty! Omg I can’t explain the flavors except for phenomenal OMG. I can’t stop eating it lol! We had this two times in one week then the week after. Thank you so much! It’s incredibly delicious

I made this today and added a little homemade chicken stock to make it more like a soup. The flavor of this was amazing and I’m definitely going to make it again. Thank you Seonkyoung!

I did not like this recipe. It lacks the broth usually found with this dish. The chicken/seasoning was also bland. I typically add water and a lot more gochujang and gochugaru but have always wanted to try one one of your recipes. Sadly, as a half Korean who lived in Korea for 12 years, I was very disappointed.

Hi your recipe says rice wine, do you mean rice wine vinegar or mirin?
Reply
SeonkyoungApril 7, 2020 at 1:15 pm
Any types of rice wine, for example sake, Japanese Rice wine.

Hi Seonkyoung, since I am a Muslim, can I use anything else besides rice wine?
