Braised chicken

찜닭

What exactly is it?

Chicken and vegetables are braised in soy seasoning with glass noodles. Jjim here does not mean cooking only in steam. Boneless meat and additions such as rice cakes or cheese change the contents and size of the platter.

Main ingredients

Chicken, soy seasoning, potatoes, vegetables, glass noodles, chili

Ordering and serving

Distinguish a shared whole-chicken order from an individual set. Brown soy sauce does not guarantee mild heat; check whether rice and extra noodles are included.

Origins and changes

The familiar soy-and-glass-noodle form is linked to Andong’s restaurant dish. As it spread through chains and other cities, menus added boneless choices, cheese and adjustable heat.

Andong jjimdak

안동찜닭

Main ingredients
Chicken, soy sauce, potato, carrot, onion, glass noodles, dried chili
Flavor and character
Chicken and vegetables are braised in soy seasoning, with glass noodles absorbing the sauce. Brown sauce can still be hot with dried chili. Potatoes and noodles make it a substantial shared platter.
How to eat it
Compare half/whole-chicken sizes and bone-in versus boneless options. Portion the noodles early as they absorb sauce quickly. Ask about chili adjustment when ordering.
