Daktoritang/Dak Bokkeumtang (Korean Spicy Braised Chicken)

Daktoritang is a spicy chicken dish that is very easy to make and I find it a bit similar like our curry chicken dish without coconut milk :)
If you are busy and would like to make a dish that is quick and all-in-one (well balance of meat and vegetable), this would be a perfect dish! Have a try~ ^^

1. Wash and cut the chicken, potatoes, carrot and onion into bite pieces and set aside.
2. Prepare the sauce by mixing gochujang, gochugaru, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl.
3. Heat a pot with cooking oil on medium heat. Add in the cut onions, carrots and potatoes and stir fry for 1 minute.
4. Add in the cut chicken and fry for another 1 minute on medium heat.
5. Add in the sauce and water, keep stiring to mix in the sauce.  Bring it to boil over medium high heat and let it simmer with lid closed for another 20 minutes on low heat.  Stir occasionally to prevent the chicken and veggies stick on the pot.
6. Open the lid and let it cook for another 10 minutes until the chicken is tender and the broth is slightly thicken.
7. Turn off the hear.  Serve on a plate and garnish with chopped spring onion~

Tip:

* I like my potatoes and carrots in mushy texture, therefore they were added in the beginning of the cooking process.  You can add it later when the chicken is half cooked ^^
