Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the 4 chicken breast pieces thoroughly. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the chicken breasts, and pour in about 1-2 tablespoons of soju (rice wine) to help remove any unwanted odors. Blanch the chicken for about 3 minutes. This initial blanching helps remove impurities for a cleaner broth.
Step 2
After blanching, remove the chicken breasts and place them on a sieve or colander to drain. Avoid rinsing them immediately with cold water; letting them sit briefly helps keep the chicken moist.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the broth. In a pot, add enough cold water to cover the chicken breasts (about 1.5-2 liters). Add the peeled onion (whole), the cleaned green onion stalk, and the 12 whole garlic cloves. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 40-50 minutes, allowing the rich chicken flavor to infuse into the broth.
Step 4
Once the broth has simmered sufficiently, remove and discard the cooked onion and green onion. Use a fine-mesh sieve or a spoon to skim off any foam or impurities that have risen to the surface. This step is crucial for achieving a clear and clean-tasting broth.
Step 5
Carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts from the broth. Once they are cool enough to handle, shred the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces along the grain. Be gentle to avoid breaking up the meat too much.
Step 6
Return the shredded chicken to the clear broth. Season the gomtang with salt and pepper to your liking. Adjust the saltiness and add a touch of pepper for enhanced aroma.
Step 7
Finally, garnish generously with finely chopped green onions (or scallions). Serve hot, accompanied by the prepared spicy dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy this comforting bowl of Chicken Gomtang, perfect for warding off the chill!
