I watch alot of Korean Dramas. Besides the few must see American shows I love K-Dramas are my favorite TV to watch. Now usually in one of these shows the couple inevitably goes to a restaurant. I cannot possibly name each of the delicious dishes I've seen but every once in awhile one pops up that Just looks so irresistably good that I have to track down a recipe. As far as I know this is pretty authentic to what you'd actually eat in Korea. If I'm missing something please comment or if you just enjoy it. I like hearing responses.
Spicy Braised Chicken
----------------------
Two pounds of chicken thighs or wings into bite sized pieces
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c Minced garlic
1/4 c Hot pepper paste
1/4 c hot pepper flakes
1Tbsp Sugar
2 c Chopped Onions
2 c Water
3 Large Potatos Chopped into about 2inch chunks
2 green chilis chopped
2 green onions chopped (garnish)
Start by washing the chicken. Drain and set aside. Mix together soy sauce,garlic,hot pepper flakes,hot pepper paste and sugar. Put the chicken and onions in a large pot. Mix 1 cup of water into your paste and dump over chicken and onion mixture. Toss to coat. You'll still have some paste in the bowl so go ahead and add one more cup, mix and empty over whats already in the pot. Toss again to make sure everythings covered nicely. Turn on the stove top to medium high and boil the mixture for 20 minutes. Now cut your potatos if you havent already. Put them into your pot along with the green chilis,stir And replace lid. Cook for an additional 20 minutes. Remove lid and cook about 5 minutes to thicken sauce some. Occasionally taking sauce from the bottom of the pot and pouring over the contents on top. Lastly transfer to large serving plate or dish and sprinkle chopped green onions on top before serving. Of course what's a proper Korean meal without a side of rice and if you enjoy it some Kimchi!
