SPICY KOREAN CHICKEN STEW (DAKDORITANG)

Steps:

• To make the seasoning paste, mix all the seasoning paste ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat with the seasoning. Place the chicken in a braising pan or a deep skillet.
• Pour the sea kelp stock over the chicken to barely cover them, about 2-3 cup. Bring to med-high heat and let them boil first, then cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
• Add the onion and carrots to the chicken, toss together. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and simmer again for another 10 minutes. Cooking time will vary depends on the size of your vegetables.
• When the vegetables are just tender, uncover the pan. Raise the heat to med-high, and cook another 3-4 minutes.
• Lastly sprinkle chilies, green onion, and heat though. Remove the pan from the heat. Let the stew rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve. The sauce will thicken as the stew rests. Serve the stew with rice.

INSTANT POT DAKDORI TANG

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker, combine the potatoes, carrots, garlic, onion, green chile, gochujang, soy sauce, gochugaru, ginger, sugar, sesame oil and 1 1/2 cups water. Mix well with a spatula to evenly distribute the seasoning with all ingredients. Add the chicken and mix to coat. Close the lid and twist the steam valve to the sealed position. Set to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
• Turn the pressure cooker off, then do a quick release of the pressure by carefully twisting the steam valve to vent. If you'd like to reduce the liquid, remove the chicken to serving bowls with tongs, then let the stew bubble for a few minutes on the simmer setting. Taste, and add a little more sugar (up to 1 more tablespoon) to round the flavor out to your preference. Serve the stew in bowls topped with scallions and sesame seeds, with rice.
