Spicy Braised Chicken Stew
Bone-in chicken thighs braise in a gochujang-spiced broth with potato, carrot, and onion until the sauce thickens and clings, finished with scallion and sesame seeds. Rooted in Korean home cooking, dak-bokkeum-tang balances chili heat, garlic, and a touch of sweetness, served over steamed rice.

Instructions
1
Prep
Cut the chicken thigh into two pieces through the bone. Peel and chunk the potato, cut the carrot and onion into chunks.
2
Bloom
Whisk together gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger in a small bowl until uniform and deep red.
3
Sear
Heat a heavy pot over medium-high heat and add the chicken skin-side down, searing 3 minutes until the skin turns golden and releases.
4
Braise
Add potato, carrot, onion, chicken stock, and spice paste to the pot. Stir to coat, bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer 25 minutes until the chicken is fork-tender.
5
Reduce
Uncover and simmer over medium heat 5 minutes, spooning sauce over the chicken, until the liquid thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
6
Finish
Stir in scallion pieces and sesame oil, cooking 1 minute over low heat until the scallion wilts.
7
Plate
Spoon the chicken and vegetables with sauce into a wide bowl and scatter sesame seeds over the top.
