50 Recipes, #49: Gotchujang chicken stew

[nonelvis]

A Korean spicy chicken stew recipe from my friend peebles. I had to make a couple of alterations so columbina would eat it -- Col dislikes eating meat on the bone, so I used a combination of boneless chicken breasts, chicken drumstick meat, and the drumsticks snapped in half instead of chopping up a whole chicken; also, he has less heat tolerance than I do, so I cut the amount of red pepper and gotchujang (sweet-hot chili paste) in half. I loved it -- it was spicy, savory, and just the right thing for an incredibly cold winter day.

Also, the marinated lotus root I picked up as a side dish? Totally buying that again.

One more recipe to go! I know exactly what I'm making, but it'll have to wait until New Year's Eve.

Can you e-mail or post the recipe (your version -- I'm also anti-bone, and also anti-dark meat)? Clare has been making chicken stews from her sister's recipe, which she and the baby love, but to me is bland and watery (don't tell her I said that part).

Eating the meat off the bone is one of the best parts!
