Korean Traditional Eat - Jjim Dalk 찜닭

찜닭 is a spicy dish that originated in Andong. It is composed of chicken chopped into pieces, boiled in a simmering sauce made of whole garlic, onions, ginger and a green chili pepper (not the original red in Korea) called Cheongyang gochu 청양고추.  It is then served with glass noodles and vegetables like potato, carrots, and cucumbers. The spicy level of this Korean traditional eat can be altered to the taste buds of guests. If tolerable, going for the spicy kick leaves you with a more traditional taste of this dish. This family style dish is commonly served in a big plate with scissors allowing for you to cut the long glass noodles and bigger chunks of vegetables.
