Ingredients

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into 10 pieces and fat trimmed
water to cover
3 slices fresh ginger
1 ½ cups water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon Korean hot pepper paste
1 tablespoon Korean hot pepper powder
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1x2-inch pieces
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1x2-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, peeled and cut into 1x2-inch pieces
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

Put chicken pieces in a large pot and add enough water to cover. Add ginger and bring water to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain water and discard ginger.
Mix 1 1/2 cups water, soy sauce, sugar, hot pepper paste, hot pepper powder, sesame oil, and garlic into chicken; cook and stir over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Stir potatoes and carrot into chicken mixture; cook for 5 minutes. Add onion, salt, and black pepper; mix well. Cook stew until heated through and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Garnish stew with green onions and sesame seeds.
