A Korean braised chicken dish with potatoes, vegetables, sweet potato glass noodles, and a savory-sweet soy sauce.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Place the sweet potato glass noodles in a large bowl and cover them with 960 ml warm water. Soak until flexible, then drain well.

Step 2
Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice syrup, garlic, ginger, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.

Step 3
Place the chicken and the remaining 720 ml water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and skim away any foam from the surface.
-
Step 4
Pour the prepared sauce into the pot and add the potatoes and carrots. Cover and braise over medium heat.

Step 5
Add the onion, shiitake mushrooms, and chili peppers. Continue braising uncovered over medium heat until the vegetables are nearly tender and the sauce has reduced slightly.

Step 6
Add the soaked noodles and gently turn them through the sauce. Cook over medium heat until the noodles are tender and the thickest chicken pieces reach 74°C internally.

Step 7
Remove the pot from the heat. Fold in the green onions and sesame oil, then scatter the sesame seeds over the dish before serving.
