Yangnyeom chicken（ヤムニョムチキン）

What kind of dish is yangnyeom chicken？？

“Yangnyeom chicken（＝양념치킨）” is known as Korean-style fried chicken. It is a dish of fried chicken mixed with a sauce made from gochujang, garlic, and sugar.

The meaning of 양념 (yangnyeom) is “seasoning.” Yangnyeom is a general term for seasonings made from a variety of spices.

By the way, 양념 (yangnyeom) is written in kanji as “薬念”.

The name “薬念” is based on the idea that food becomes medicine, that medicine and food are the same source of medicine.

Food on the Korean Peninsula seeks the harmony of the five tastes (spicy, sweet, sour, salt, and bitter) and the five colors (blue, red, yellow, white, and black).

It is the “薬念” that form these five tastes and five colors, and the combination of a wide variety of medicinal thoughts creates a deep flavor.

The Korean people have developed the wisdom to maintain their health through food.

The type of yangnyeom used varies depending on the dish, and yangnyeom chiken is often seasoned with a sweet and spicy sauce made from gochujang, garlic, and sugar.

Gochujang is a spicy and sweet miso that originated on the Korean Peninsula. It is a fermented seasoning made by saccharifying rice or glutinous rice with koji, adding chili pepper, and aging it. It is an essential seasoning for samgyeopsal sauce and bibimbap toppings.

Be sure to try the Yumnyom Chicken, which is so popular that even in Japan there are specialty stores.

Yangnyeom chicken recipe COOKING　INSTRUCTIONS

➀Cut the chicken into pieces about 25g to 30g.

②Rub salt and pepper into the chicken.

③Sprinkle with flour.

Cooking flours are recommended. This is less sticky than regular flour.

④Heat the oil and fry the chicken for 8 minutes. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel to help crisp up the skin.

In order to limit the amount of oil I use, I only use enough oil to just cover the bottom of the chicken.

⑤Mix the chicken with the sauce, which includes gochujang, garlic, sugar, sake, and vinegar, then sprinkle with white sesame seeds.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
