instructions
    1

    Start by gathering all your ingredients on the kitchen counter. Make sure you have everything ready.

    2

    Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large pot. Add 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

    3

    While waiting for the water to boil, peel and cut the potato, carrot, and onion into bite-sized chunks.

    4

    Once boiling, skim off any foam that rises to the surface for a clearer broth, then add the potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and ginger.

    5

    Add in the gochujang, soy sauce, and sugar into the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

    6

    Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to mingle and the chicken to cook through.

    7

    After the 30 minutes, check if the potatoes are soft. If they are, add in the sesame oil and sliced green onions.

    8

    Let the stew simmer for additional 5 minutes to incorporate the flavor of green onions.

    9

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving.
