JJIMDAK (KOREAN BRAISED CHICKEN)
Jjimdak
is a popular Korean braised chicken. It originated in the city of Andong,
Korea. It’s savoury, mildly salty and sweet with a very subtle spicy kick. It
has a somewhat complex flavour and because of that, it’s highly addictive and
comforting!
Ingredients
MAIN
·
800 g chicken (1.8 pounds), cut into medium sized
chunks, I used a mix of chicken drumettes & wingettes and thigh fillets
·
5 cups water to parboil the chicken
·
2 medium potatoes (340 g / 12 ounces) cut into medium
sized chunks
·
1 medium carrot (170 g / 6 ounces), cut into medium
sized chunks
·
1 large brown onion (210 g / 7.4 ounces), cut into
medium sized chunks
·
5 dried small red chillies (2 g / 0.07 ounces), I used
Thai chillies but you can use Korean chillies if you can get them
·
150 g Korean
glass noodles (5.3 ounces), soaked in warm water for
about 20 mins to hydrate, drain before use
·
3 button mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms (80 g / 2.8
ounces), thinly sliced,
·
1 stalk of green onion (20 g / 0.7 ounces), diagonally
chopped,
SAUCE
(MIX THESE IN A BOWL)
·
1 1/2 cup water
·
2 Tbsp raw sugar or dark brown sugar
·
2 Tbsp rice wine/mirin
·
1 Tbsp honey
·
1 Tbsp msg free oyster sauce
·
1 Tbsp minced garlic
·
1/2 tsp minced ginger
·
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
1. On
medium-high heat, boil the water (5 cups) in a medium sized pot. Once it’s
rolling boiling, parboil the chicken for 1 minute to skim off any fat. Drain
the water.
2. In a
clean pot (I used this braising pot), add the chicken and the sauce. Boil them
over medium-high heat for about 10 mins, covered.
3. Add the
potatoes, carrots, onions and chillies and boil for a further 7 mins, covered.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir gently to change the position of the chicken
and the vegetables. Simmer for a further 8 mins, covered.
4. Add the
glass noodles, mushrooms, and green onions and simmer until the noodles and
mushrooms are cooked (about 3 to 5 mins), covered. Stir lightly to make sure
the noodles and the mushrooms are mixed with the sauce.
5. Garnish
with the sesame seeds. (You can add additional green onions for extra poppy
colour before serving as well.) Serve hot with a bowl of steamed rice.
