About Andong Jjimdak
Andong jjimdak is a spicy Korean braised chicken dish associated with the city of Andong. Hyosun's rendition uses cut pieces of a whole chicken with sweet-potato starch noodles and vegetables.
Soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine and sweeteners form the braising liquid. Garlic, ginger and dried red chillies add aromatic heat, while fresh green chillies are optional.
Potatoes, carrot, onion and shiitake mushrooms share the sauce with the chicken. Scallions and the translucent noodles join near the finish, followed by sesame oil and a garnish of sesame seeds.
