Dakdoritang
Spicy Chicken Stew
Dakdoritang is a classic Korean dish of chicken, potatoes and carrots stewed in a spicy sauce. It's very tasty and homey and would make a great weekday meal. It does require getting a hold of gochunjang, a Korean pepper paste which together with gochugaru , Korean chili, is what gives it its spiciness and flavor. Fortunately, I was able to find the former at a major supermarket, but had to substitute red pepper flakes for the latter.
