닭도리탕 (dak do ri tang)

This is a dish I never order in Korean restaurants. My mother made it so often at home and it didn't taste any different in restaurants so it seemed silly to pay for it. Like when I see someone (usually non-Koreans) order japchae in restaurants I want to shake them and say "don't you know this can be made at home for 15 cents!"

When i was a kid I loathed carrots, but I tolerated them in this dish. I'm still not a huge fan of carrots, but I feel like I need to eat more veggies, so I added a ton of carrots in this dish. That's how I tricked me into eating more carrots.

Buy some cut up chicken and marinate in gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil for at least 30 minutes.

Heat up some oil in a pot, sautee onions. Add chicken to pot, add water. After a while, add potatoes and carrots. Simmer until chicken is tender and root vegetables are cooked through.

Serve with a lot of rice. Eat all your carrots.
