Dakbokkeumtang – Korean Spicy Chicken Stew Recipe & Video

Dakbokkeumtang is one of my comfort food from Korea!

It’s very hearty, warm feeling & aways brings me a great memories of family & friends!

Dakbokkeumtang is Korean spicy chicken stew with simple vegetables such as potato, carrot and onion. The dish has all simple western style ingredients but the seasoning is totally different. So it is a great way to try new flavor with familiar ingredients with you! 😀

Dakbokkeumtang used to called by Dakdoritang.

Korea changed the dish’s name because ‘dak’ means chicken in Korean and ‘dori’ also means chicken in Japanese. We figured that the name doesn’t make sense at all as Korean gramma so the dish’s name is Dakbokkeumtang now on.

We normally serve this dakbokkeumtang with warm cooked rice, kimchi and more other side dishes.

For me, kimchi is all I need as a side for this delicious Dakbokkeumtang!

Dakbokeumtang, rice and kimchi, I’m set! lol

I hope you guys enjoy my recipe and please try it before the weather get too hot for your family, friends and even for yourself!!
