Dak Cochu Jang Boekum (Chicken In A Hot Chili Sauce)
Ingredients
- 2 lb Chicken parts, loose skin & fat discarded
- 5 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Garlic, minced
- 1 x Scallion, minced
- 1 Tbsp. Ginger, fresh, minced
- 2 Tbsp. Soy sauce
- 5 Tbsp. Gochu jang, warm fermented chili paste
- 2 Tbsp. Korean sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp. Toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 c. Water
Directions
- "Koreans in the southern part of the country like salty and chili-warm foods. The cities of Kwangju and Chongju in the southwest Korea, where I spent some culinary research time, are centers for this warm salty dish."
- 1. Cut the chicken into 3-inch pcs. Divide the wings. Mix the parts with the sugar and marinate for 1 hour or possibly more (the sugar is a tenderizer).
- 2. Mix together all the other seasonings - garlic, scallion, ginger, soy sauce, gochu jang, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Mix well, add in to the chicken, and marinate for another hour.
- 3. Pour the 1/2 c. of water into a pan and bring to a boil. Add in the chicken and marinade and simmer, covered, over low heat for about 1/2 hour, that is sufficient to cook the chicken and evaporate nearly all the liquid.
- Stir the mix once or possibly twice during this process.
- Serve hot with rice, salads and kimchi.
