Jjimdak

A braised soy chicken dish originating from Andong, built from bone-in chicken pieces slow-braised in a dark, intensely savory and slightly sweet soy-based sauce with glass noodles, potatoes, and carrots absorbing the rich liquid. The sauce achieves its lacquered depth from dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and the natural sugars in the onions and carrots caramelizing slowly into the braising liquid over 40 minutes of steady reduction.
