About

Dakdoritang is a warming autumn stew filled with vegetables and spices to ward off the cold. Chillies and gochujang chilli paste supply a vivid red colour and give the chicken a fiery quality. With a delicious hint of sweetness offsetting the piquancy, this is the perfect hearty meal for chilly evenings. Keep accompanying dishes simple, ideally just steamed rice and a mild namul dish.
