My boy has been bugging me to cook this Dakbokkeumtang or Dakdoritang for a long time. Finally got down to doing it.
Omg, wonder why it took me so long to attempt it? It’s really easy, and taste so good 😋 Especially the gravy! Ok everything tastes yummy. Usual ingredients include chicken, potato, carrot, onion & scallions, my boy requested to add cheese ttoekbokki which turned out to be brilliant idea. This recipe is a keeper & I’m certainly going to cook this one-pot dish more often.
