Korean Spicy Chicken Rice Noodle Bake | Food Wishes

[@conorryan3035]

Gochujang is such a fantastic ingredient - and it's so versatile it deserves a place in every fridge.

[@alphonsethe3481]

I made this dish last night for me and three friends. It was absolutely incredible and we ate everything. My one tip for everyone who wants to replicate. Make sure to get the chicken broth to touch all the noodles essentially. We had some uncooked noodles but they were still great. I recommend putting the broth before the chicken rather than chicken before broth. Next time I create, I will add onions and peppers :)

[@wstalina]

Thank you for your tips

[@jaromir_kovar]

reading this tip too late but it makes so much sense and I'll remember it for the next time. I've added the broth mixture after the chicken was laid out (I didn't wash away any marinade, so I am clearly a superior chef here 😂😇). It is in the oven as I write this and I am super excited. I don't think I will mind any potential pieces of uncooked noodles. Chef John is the best. Also, thanks to this recipe I have discovered the Korean sauce and now I will never have my fridge Gochujangless.

[@EJKim-zk9st]

This looks amazing. You can make Dak-gal-bi (korean spicy chicken stir fry) with the marinated chicken and the sauce in the video. Just add chopped cabbages, carrots, and sweet potatoes. You need to chop the chicken into pieces too, but not too small, and cook all in the frying pan. Some people lay some mozzarella cheese on top like a pizza topping when it's almost done, but I never tried that. Thanks chef John.

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

Rice noodles are always better with a 'drier' state. If you put too much water, it will be wet and soggy like an overcooked regular noodle. Chef John did the perfect choice with this method, retaining the texture of the noodle. Trust him and trust me, this rice noddles DO taste perfectly this way. And you won't enjoy a wet, soggy, broken down mush of an overcooked rice noodle.

[@rebelsymphonyorchestra8830]

1 1/4 cup stock is not enough to cook that many rice noodles. It always comes out too dry.

[@suebowman7258]

@@rebelsymphonyorchestra8830Agreed

Rice noodles cooked unevenly. Parts are soft, others are crunchy. So, I had to return noodles to the oven with a little broth. It sucks because the cooked parts will be soggy.

[@bcal5962]

Made this on the weekend. Turned out great but one caveat: I had a few 'pockets' of dried noodle and I think to solve that next time when Chef John puts the final bit of sauce in the 'pockets' around the thighs what I would do next time is to first *evenly* distribute the sauce all over the top of the noodles and then place the thighs down on the noodles.

[@coltoncyr2283]

looks so yummy!! 5:19 Maybe put the chicken aside, then add water>mixing bowl> then pour on top, then add chicken! yummmm

[@kurtholzmuller2828]

I made this without making any liquid adjustments just like Chef John suggested. I do not like mushrooms so I substituted thinly shredded cabbage scattered over the top with the peppers and green onions. It turned out perfect and I breathed a sigh of relief. I will make this again for sure.

[@Shooshoobella7]

I just purchased some Gochujang for the first time and then this recipe popped up shortly afterwards. Talk about serendipity! Will definitely give this a try, it looks delicious! Thanks Chef John.

[@Dark-Hound]

Made tonight but with a bulgogoi marinade. Came out amazing!

[@bryanchitwood6488]

A super interesting recipe I will definitely make again, perhaps with some tweaks. However, the marinade/sauce needs absolutely nothing and does a beautiful job of marinating the BS thighs and providing delicious flavor. I followed the recipe closely and used two heaping tablespoons of my goyuchang. The result was pleasantly spicy. I rehydrated some dried shiitakes for the mushrooms and used some of the soaking liquid along with chicken stock for the final liquid addition. I thought the thighs were silky and delicious after 35 minutes with convection, but my spouse found them a bit underdone. We both thought the noodles were slightly overdone--but they tasted pretty darned good today when I had the cold leftover noodles and chicken for lunch (it was 95 here today in Nicaragua, so a cold lunch was just the thing), At any rate, thanks for a great recipe using what I thought was a very innovative technique. Thanks again.

[@junkim2789]

It's always interesting as a Korean to see how foreigners make Korean dishes. I've never seen this dish in Korea. I guess this is more of a fusion dish probably created in America. I wouldn't say it is authentic, but it definitely has enough understanding of original spicy chicken stew dish(닭도리탕). Also I would like to have Chef John try original Korean glass noodle, if he hasn't. It is much thicker than South East Asian rice noodles used in the video, so it absorbs the sauce much better. Glass noodle is pretty much the standard to put in stews in Korea. Anyway, the dish in the video looks very nice and tasty! A very clever twsit to the original dish. I would like to try it too!

[@Vendzor]

Are glass noodles the ones made of sweet potato starch?

[@junkim2789]

@@Vendzor correct! It is called 'Dangmyeon'. It is a standard noodle for stews, especially chicken stews. 🐔 But Dangmyeon needs to be boiled to cook, so I don't think it can be used for the dish in the video. It is definitely not suitable for oven dishes. But it is definitely more authentic choice, if you want to try. Soak it in cold water before you start cooking the stew, boil it slightly before putting into stew(otherwise it would absorb too much sauce, making the entire stew too dry), and then put it into stew several minutes before finishing the meal. If it's overcooked it will start to break down, but you will quickly get the process.

[@khorneflakes773]

Nowhere did he claim it was authentic.

[@iiota]

most of his videos are formatted for an american home cook audience to be able to cook on an average weeknight. I think the only thing that really makes this korean is the chili paste lol

@@iiotano, other than ketchup, the rest of ingredients are very close to the original. I am a fan of Chef John, and he's my go to guy. His cooking is always down to earth so I agree with your point.
