I was looking online for some inspiration on what to do with 4 skin on bone in chicken thighs and came across this recipe for korean-style chicken stew on the Olive Magazine website. We both really enjoy the flavour of gochujang and liked the sound of this once...we've got another couple of Korean recipes up our sleeve, so watch this space!
You need to like it hot to enjoy recipes with gochujang in them...and this korean-style chicken stew is definitely on the hot side, but it's so full of flavour and is very well balanced...enjoy!
Tips
- Leave out the chicken and make it with vegetable stock, and possibly add more vegetables for a vegetarian version.
- We think this would also work well with grilled fish instead of the chicken.
- The quantities for the recipe are easily changed if you're cooking for more or less people.
