Braised Korean Chicken Stew
4 people added this to their Recipe Box
Economical and efficient, braising is common in Asian recipes. Look for Korean coarse chili powder in Asian food markets. During autumn in Korea, this dish, called tak tchim, is made with chestnuts, so if you like, add a dozen vacuum-packed peeled chestnuts, about 65 g.

1 tbsp (15 mL) Korean coarse chili powder (or 1 tsp/5 mL hot pepper flakes)
1/2 cup (125 mL) sodium-reduced soy sauce
3 tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar
2 tbsp (25 mL) Chinese rice wine, sake or dry sherry
