Dak Jim (Korean Chicken Stew)

Galbi Jim is actually my favorite food.  But eating short ribs isn't the healthiest option and the recipe works great with chicken.

Start with cutting up a whole chicken, salt and pepper all over, and then dust with flour


Cut up big chunks of garlic and onion

brown the chicken pieces in olive oil

add garlic, onion, carrots and moo (korean radish) or potato

also add in soy sauce and some sugar, with rice wine vinegar and sesame oil to taste - sorry no measurements, i just did it by taste - but here's my approximation:

- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbs rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbs sesame oil



simmer until chicken is tender but not totally falling off the bone

serve with white rice

nothing better that something cooked in soy with BAP!

this is my favorite dish from childhood. my non-korean husband made it for me tonight after calling my mom for the recipe and consulting your recipe for confirmation.
so comforting!
