μμΌλ§€μ΄λμ°
Bone-in chicken braised with shiitake, potato, onion, carrot and dried chili in a soy-sugar sauce darkened with laochou, finished with fresh ginseng and glass noodles. Adding ginger slices when blanching chicken removes fishy smells; laochou (dark soy sauce) gives color and aroma in place of caramel.
