Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start making ‘Curry Braised Chicken’, where the fragrant notes of curry powder blend with the addictive taste of braised chicken! ♬♪
Step 2
First, rinse the chicken thoroughly under cold running water to remove any impurities.
Step 3
This is an important step to remove any gaminess from the chicken. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, and then add the prepared chicken. Blanch the chicken for about 5 minutes once the water boils.
Step 4
After blanching, rinse the chicken again under cold water to wash away any remaining oil and impurities. This will result in a cleaner broth for your braised chicken.
Step 5
Cut the potatoes and carrots into large, bite-sized pieces suitable for braised chicken. Rounding off the edges will make them look nice when cooked and prevent them from becoming too sharp.
Step 6
Slice the green onion diagonally and coarsely chop the onion. If using Korean chili peppers, finely chop them if you desire more heat. Adjust the amount according to your preference.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to make the heart of the delicious Curry Braised Chicken: the sauce! In a bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and mix them well until thoroughly blended.
Step 8
※ Curry Braised Chicken Special Sauce Ratio: 4 Tbsp curry powder, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp cooking wine, 0.5 Tbsp sugar, a pinch of black pepper. (All measurements are based on a standard tablespoon/rice spoon).
Step 9
Heat a pan over medium heat and add about two drizzles of cooking oil. Add the blanched chicken, potatoes, and carrots. Sauté them until the chicken skin turns golden brown; this enhances the flavor.
Step 10
Pour 4 cups of water (about 800ml, using a paper cup as a measure) and 2/3 of the prepared sauce into the pan with the sautéed chicken and vegetables. Bring to a boil over high heat. This step allows the flavors to meld together.
Step 11
Once the mixture boils vigorously, reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently until the ingredients are cooked through. Keep an eye on it periodically to prevent the sauce from reducing too much.
Step 12
When the broth has reduced by about half, taste it and add the remaining sauce if needed, or add a little more water if it’s too salty. Then, add all the prepared vegetables like green onion, onion, and chili peppers and mix them in.
Step 13
Finally, simmer for a little longer until all the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. This completes your delicious Curry Braised Chicken! Taste and adjust seasoning one last time before turning off the heat.
Step 14
Using curry powder effectively eliminates any gaminess from the chicken while adding a unique and delicious flavor to the Curry Braised Chicken! Everyone will love this taste, so be sure to give it a try. Don’t forget to mix the remaining broth with rice!
