Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To achieve the perfect chewy texture for the tteokbokki noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Submerge the noodles and blanch for approximately 30 seconds. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become mushy. Rinse the blanched noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 2
Prepare the vegetables for your delicious chicken stew. Slice the potatoes and carrots into thick, bite-sized pieces (about 0.5 cm thick). Roughly chop the onion into strips, and diagonally slice the green onion. Cutting the vegetables into larger pieces will help them hold their shape and provide a better texture after cooking.
Step 3
Let’s start cooking this flavorful chicken stew! In a pot, combine the chicken meat, prepared potatoes, carrots, onion, and green onions. Add all the seasoning ingredients: soy sauce, gochujang, gochugaru, minced garlic, minced ginger, corn syrup, sugar, water, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Step 4
Once the chicken is tender and cooked, it’s time to add the blanched, chewy tteokbokki noodles! Add the noodles to the pot and continue to simmer for about 5 more minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the delicious sauce. They’ll become even more flavorful!
Step 5
Your delectable Tteokbokki Noodle and Chicken Stew, a perfect marriage of chewy noodles and spicy-sweet chicken, is now ready! Serve hot in a bowl and enjoy. This dish is perfect as a side for rice or as a satisfying appetizer!
