  • 1 h

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken pieces
  • 100 g sweet potato noodles (dangmyeon)
  • 2 potatoes and 1 carrot
  • 1 onion and 4 spring onions
  • 2 dried chillies
  • 6 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons of brown sugar or molasses
  • 1 tablespoon each of chopped garlic and ginger

How to make it at home

  1. Soak the noodles in warm water for 30 minutes.
  2. Blanch the chicken and rinse it.
  3. Put the chicken in a casserole with the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, chillies and 500 ml of water, and cook for 20 minutes.
