간장닭고기 (Ganjang Dakgogi)
Experience the rich, savory flavors of Korean home cooking tonight with this easy and comforting Soy Sauce Chicken!
Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces and placing it into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
Peel and crush 4 cloves of garlic and peel a piece of ginger. Slice the onion into thin wedges.
Add the garlic, ginger, and onion to the chicken pieces. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and mix everything thoroughly.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors. If you have time, marinating for a few hours in the fridge would be even better.
After marinating, transfer the chicken and marinade into a pan over medium heat.
Cover and simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
While the chicken is cooking, chop the green onion into small pieces.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from heat, garnish with green onions, and serve.
