Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken Thighs 1 piece (approx. 350g)
  • Onion (minced) 100g
  • Scallion (minced) 1 tbsp
  • Ginger (minced) 1 tsp
  • Garlic (minced) 1 tsp
  • Eggs 2

Seasonings

  • [A] Salt (to taste)
  • [A] Pepper (to taste)
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • Goma Oil (White Sesame Oil) 1 tbsp +
  • Curry Powder 3 tsp
  • Doubanjiang (Chili Bean Paste) 1/2 tsp
  • [B] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [C] Sugar (to taste)
  • [C] Ketchup 1 tbsp
  • [D] Soy Sauce (to taste)

Steps

  1. Finely mince the onion, scallion, ginger, and garlic separately.
  2. Even out the thickness of the chicken thighs (1 piece, approx. 350g) by cutting into the thicker parts, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place the cut chicken in a bowl, season with salt (to taste), pepper (to taste), and cooking sake (rice wine) 1 tbsp, then mix well.
  4. Heat Goma oil (white sesame oil) 1 tbsp + in a frying pan, and sear the chicken skin-side down until golden brown and fragrant. (Key Tip! Don't cook it through completely; searing and then removing it will result in a tender curry after simmering.)
  5. Using the oil remaining in the frying pan after removing the chicken, sauté the onion (100g).
  6. Once the onion has softened, add the minced scallion (1 tbsp), minced ginger (1 tsp), and minced garlic (1 tsp), and stir-fry until fragrant.
  7. Add the curry powder (3 tsp) and stir-fry thoroughly until it coats the onions. (Key Tip! Thoroughly toasting the curry powder enhances its aroma.)
  8. Stir in the doubanjiang (chili bean paste) 1/2 tsp.
  9. Return the previously removed chicken to the frying pan, add cooking sake (rice wine) 2 tbsp and enough water to cover (approximately 250cc).
  10. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt (to taste). (Key Tip! The taste should be slightly stronger than clear broth.)
  12. Add sugar (to taste) and ketchup (1 tbsp) as a secret ingredient and mix well.
  13. In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 eggs and mix in soy sauce (to taste).
  14. Pour the whisked egg mixture over the simmered curry.
  15. Cover and let it sit for about 30 to 40 seconds. Turn off the heat when the egg is semi-cooked.
  16. Serve in a bowl with freshly cooked rice. Done!
