KOREAN SPICY CHICKEN AND POTATO (TAK TORITANG)

Korean Spicy Chicken and Potato (Tak Toritang) image

A very easy meal to make! Chicken drumettes, potato, carrots, and onion simmer in a spicy sauce that goes best with white rice. You can find Korean hot pepper paste in a Korean/Asian market. I haven't tried looking in a grocery store. Its Korean name is 'gochujang'. Serve with hot cooked rice.
