Ingredients:

• 12 chicken wings
• 1 onion
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 carrot
• 5-6 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

1. Prepare Chicken:

   • If using chicken wings with skin, boil them in a pot until no longer visibly bloody. This step helps reduce excess fat from the skin. If using boneless chicken, you can skip this step.

2. Initial Preparation:

   • Drain the chicken wings once boiled.

3. Sauce Preparation:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, black pepper, sugar, and water. Mix well to integrate all ingredients.

4. Cooking Process:

   • Transfer the drained chicken wings to a cooking pot.
   • Add sliced onion, diced green bell pepper, and sliced carrots to the pot with the chicken.
   • Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients in the pot.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

5. Simmering:

   • Once boiling, cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Final Touch:

   • Cook until the carrots reach your desired tenderness and the chicken is fully cooked through.

7. Serving:

   • Serve the Spicy Korean Chicken hot, ideally with sticky white rice to complement the flavors.

Additional Notes:

• This recipe is a wonderful blend of spicy and savory flavors typical of Korean cuisine.
• The addition of vegetables like carrots and bell peppers not only enhances the nutritional value but also adds color and texture to the dish.
• Adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of black pepper or adding chili flakes if desired.
• For a variation, some families add potato cubes and fresh ginger, which you can experiment with to personalize the dish further.

Enjoy making and savoring this nostalgic dish from your childhood, celebrating its rich flavors and cultural roots!
