Dakbokkeumtang (Spicy Chicken Stew) Instant Pot
This was the first recipe I made in my Instant Pot pressure cooker. Other than browning the chicken pieces, it took a whole 10 minutes to make. The chicken came out extremely tender and flavorful. It had the right amount of spice to it. Not overpowering whatsoever. The main ingredients in the sauce are gochugaru red pepper flakes, gochujuang red pepper paste, and doenjang soybean paste. The gochugaru and gochujang give it the heat while the doenjang adds a savory element. All 3 of these ingredients are used in a lot of Korean cuisine and can be found at all Asian markets.When purchasing chicken for this recipe, I recommend either using a whole chicken or just drumsticks and thighs. I bought a 10lb bag of whole chicken legs for $6.99 and processed them myself. You can ask your butcher to cut up a whole chicken for you into little pieces. I suggest learning how to do this by yourself and not being so dependent on everyone else doing the preparation for you. It's a lot more fulfilling. Once you understand how to cut a whole chicken, which I will demonstrate in another segment, this will only take you a minute.
Can you use boneless skinless chicken. Sure. If you're a little bitch that doesn't like flavor and can't spit a bone out onto your spoon. Bet you've never seen shit talking in a recipe before.
