Whenever I shop at Korean grocery stores, I love checking out the marinated meats section where buckets of pre-marinated meats are ready for sale. Other than the regular kalbi or beef short ribs for Korean BBQ, there is always a bucket of marinated chicken meat labeled as chicken stew. I always buy the chicken stew and make it at home but it was pricey.
I decided to learn how to make it and found a similar braised chicken recipe in the Kimchi Chronicles cookbook. The main flavoring ingredients are Korean chili paste “Gochujang” and Korean chili powder. From the market, I found two types of Korean chili powder—one type is a fine powdered form and the other is slightly coarse. I am not sure about the difference so if you are a Korean cook, please let me know.
I love the addition of potatoes and carrots to this spicy chicken stew. The end result is a spicy and hearty chicken stew that I really enjoy eating. It was simply delicious and comforting.

Cantonese Beef Stew
This Cantonese beef stew is inspired by the lamb stew that I had a couple of years ago in Hong Kong. Whenever it’s winter time or the weather is cold, lamb stew is a popular dish for the denizens in Hong Kong as lamb is a “heaty” meat and the clay pot stew complement it to give warmth to the…
Spicy Chicken with Cashew Nuts
I love Thai food. Come to think about it, a lot of Thai recipes that I like are basically Chinese in origin, with local influences, which add an exciting layer of taste structure to the originals. There are many examples: Rad Na, Pad See Ew, and in this case, chicken with cashew nuts. In Chinese cuisine, these dishes are prepared…
Spicy Honey Chicken
Malaysian cuisine consists of three main flavors: Malay, Chinese, and Indian. I have said it many times, but I love Malay cooking and only wished that I could eat more Malay dishes.

The chili paste is the one we use in 石锅拌饭？
The rice wine, can i use chinese kind? thanks.
Yes, it’s similar but I believe the chili paste in 石锅拌饭 has been mixed with something else because it’s sweeter. You can go to Asian market and find the Korean chili paste, which is more spicy. Yes, Chinese rice wine is fine. :)
It looks really good….mmm
Yummy, a great dish for winter for sure.
This sounds wonderful! I have a question for you…do you know how long fish sauce is good for (in the bottle, un-refrigerated)?
I think they are good for a few months, I usually use up mine in a few months and it’s no problem.
In my experience the finer ground gochu was always used in sauces along with gochujang…but the coarse stuff showed up in marinated sides of bean sprouts and in soups. I’m just assuming though, I never asked someone when I was there. Check out Seoul Eats, and my friend, Dan Gray who is a Korean foodie expert for tips, recipes, and video tutorials if you want more info on Korean food.
Looks yummy, must buy the Korean chili paste and chili powder when we visit the Korean supermarket next time.
Sounds and looks yummy! Love these simple recipes :)
This stew looks so good especially with this cold weather. I have one question for you. Do you keep the Korean chili paste at room temperature or in the fridge?
Thanks
I keep it in the fridge.
Ohh this is my type of dish – ever since i got pregnant i am just craving Korean spicy food. . .
I don’t know much about Korean food but this looks gorgeous – I love any spicy asian stew.
Bee! I bought Gochujang for the bulgogi recipe I saw here from Eating and Living (which we had tonight and loved!!) and now I am raring to use more of it! This looks like another great recipe for it…I think I may have to buy more soon!
Yum! This looks great. I’ve always got gochujang and red pepper flakes in my pantry. I love making Korean spicy soups and stews.
YUM!! trying this tonight! it’s so cold here, i need a little spicy korean stew ;)
