Living abroad for a long period of time often makes you do things that you wouldn\u2019t normally do at home. Covid-19 has certainly encouraged me to cook more Korean dishes than I would cook at home. I have started regularly cooking Korean food at home since last March when <\/span>\uc790\uac00\uaca9\ub9ac (jah-gah-gyuk-ri:<\/b> lockdown) had been implemented. I would say this is a time in my life when I cook the most Korean dishes I\u2019ve ever cooked.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love enjoying food, but I don\u2019t honestly enjoy cooking at home, particularly cooking Korean food. I had a <\/span>\ud3b8\uacac (pyun-gyun:<\/b> misconception) about making Korean food. First of all, I thought cooking Korean food at home requires a lot of effort. Secondly, it was often hard for me to access a specific <\/span>\uc7ac\ub8cc (jae-ryo<\/b>: an ingredient) overseas. For instance, I often had to travel far to an Asian store to get only one or two specific ingredients. In my defense, that was a lot of work for a lazy cook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the lessons I have learned from cooking Korean food regularly was that many Korean recipes can be cooked at home without making a fuss to travel to an Asian grocery store. Once I have a bottle of <\/span>\uac04\uc7a5 (gahn-jang<\/b>: soy sauce), I can make many Korean dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\ucc1c\ub2ed (Jjim-dak:<\/b> soy sauce-based steaming chicken dish) is one of those Korean dishes that could be cooked at home just using soy sauce and chili pepper. I used to think \ucc1c\ub2ed was a special menu item that you could only get at a \ucc1c\ub2ed restaurant in Korea. However, I can say that \ucc1c\ub2ed is not too difficult to cook at home. Today, I share this special recipe that would blow your mind away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before you start cooking, please be aware that there are three main parts of cooking:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  1. Prep vegetables and glass noodles.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Cook chicken in boiling water before adding soy sauce.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The soy sauce and other ingredients are added exactly in the order below.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
