At Jeontong Nokdoo Bindaeddeok lunch stall in Seoul’s Pungmul Market, we tasted dakdoritang, a spicy chicken and vegetable stew, prepared by Mi-Ok Seo. Gochujang, a cornerstone of Korean cooking, is a fermented chili paste; be sure to purchase pure gochujang, commonly sold in red plastic tubs or glass jars. Gochugaru, or Korean chili flakes, have a vibrant red hue and do not contain seeds. If not available, use sweet paprika. Serve with steamed short-grain rice.

Tip

Don’t use a tall, narrow pot. The larger diameter of a Dutch oven allows for greater evaporation, which thickens the liquid and concentrates flavor.
