    Begin by cutting the chicken into large pieces. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

    Peel the potato and carrot, and cut them into large chunks. Chop the onion into wedges and mince the garlic. Peel and slice the ginger.

    In a large pot, add the chicken pieces along with the chopped onion, potato, carrot, garlic, and ginger.

    4

    Pour in 4 cups of water and add the soy sauce, gochugaru, sugar, and salt. Mix everything well.

    5

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

    Let it simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
