In reply to Hyosun. This is amazing! Thank you so much! I made a vegan version on the stove with “chikn” strips and followed the actual chicken version in the instapot. Both came out tender with wonderful flavor. We will definitely be trying more of your recipes!

Thank you so so much for sharing your recipes Hyosun! I first came to your site to make Bulgogi Beef and I make it all the time now. I barely use my instant pot so I was excited to see you had instant pot recipes!

I made this without gochugaru or doenjang but I added another Tbsp of soy sauce for the missing doenjang like you suggested to do. The spiciness was very very mild but the flavor was still so delicious! It was so easy to follow too. I’ve made a list of all your recipes I’m going to try. It’s too bad I can’t share the photos of the food in these comments. Thank you again!

This recipe is so easy, delicious, and comforting! Changes made because its what we had on hand: cut meat off 12 almost thawed chicken drumsticks throw away bones (cooked for 2 mins less), sub reg stock with bone broth, sub oyster/reg soy sauce with Korean soup soy sauce, sub sugar with 1 1/2 Tbsp of Korean Plum extract syrup.
My daughters and made this together for a hearty breakfast on really cold morning. THANK YOU for making Korean dishes so accessible. Now I’m getting a grasp on how my umma would be able to just whip up something so amazing with such short notice.

This was incredible, so flavourful, so tender, just amazing. First time making and my husband and I were in heaven. Make it exactly as it, only omitted the sugar from the sauce. Perfection!

This came out really great. I used thighs and legs chopped up but there were too many little bones. I would use only drumsticks next time. The sauce is really delicious. I served it with Korean rice and musaengchae and polished off a bottle of peach soju. Five stars!

Wow! This sauce is amazing!

I’m new to Korean cooking and I’ve always wanted to try chicken stew dishes. This turned out so well! The recipe was so easy to follow. i tasted the sauce before adding to the chicken, and i was a bit skeptical. After cooking, and once all flavors got to know each other, i was surprised by how great it tasted! It’s sweet and savory and just delicious! It’s a bit spicy but not too overbearing. I’m excited to use this method in cooking other proteins.

In reply to Linda Teders. oh sorry about the late reply. Any of those works. I typically use Korean or Japanese cooking wine (aka mirim or matsul in Korean and mirin in Japanese). Glad to hear you are able to purchase some Korean staples on-line.
