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
- Finely mince the onion, scallion, ginger, and garlic separately.
- Even out the thickness of the chicken thighs (1 piece, approx. 350g) by cutting into the thicker parts, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
- 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.
- 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.)
- Using the oil remaining in the frying pan after removing the chicken, sauté the onion (100g).
- 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.
- 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.)
- Stir in the doubanjiang (chili bean paste) 1/2 tsp.
- Return the previously removed chicken to the frying pan, add cooking sake (rice wine) 2 tbsp and enough water to cover (approximately 250cc).
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt (to taste). (Key Tip! The taste should be slightly stronger than clear broth.)
- Add sugar (to taste) and ketchup (1 tbsp) as a secret ingredient and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 eggs and mix in soy sauce (to taste).
- Pour the whisked egg mixture over the simmered curry.
- Cover and let it sit for about 30 to 40 seconds. Turn off the heat when the egg is semi-cooked.
- Serve in a bowl with freshly cooked rice. Done!
