Instructions
1
Prep
Rinse rice until water runs clear. Soak glass noodles in warm water 10 minutes, drain. Peel and quarter potatoes; cut carrots into 3cm chunks; thickly slice onions. Lightly smash garlic; slice ginger; thinly slice scallions. Halve dried chillies. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, chillies, and black pepper into 800ml water.
2
Boil
Combine rinsed rice with 240ml water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat, cover and cook on lowest heat 12 minutes. Rest covered off heat 5 minutes until fluffy.
3
Blanch
Blanch chicken pieces in boiling water 3 minutes to remove bloodline, drain, and rinse under cold water until the surface is clean.
4
Braise 1
Pour soy-based braising liquid into a large heavy pot, add blanched chicken, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and braise 30 minutes until chicken yields easily to a fork.
5
Braise 2
Add potatoes, carrots, and onions to the pot, cover, and braise 12 minutes on low until potato is just tender and sauce has reduced by one third.
6
Simmer
Add soaked glass noodles, simmer 3 minutes uncovered on medium heat until noodles turn slippery and absorb the dark glaze. Drizzle sesame oil over the surface.
7
Plate
Mound cooked rice in wide bowls, ladle jjimdak with sauce and vegetables alongside, scatter scallions and sesame seeds over the top, and serve.
