"dahk jjim" news and stories

In English, C is for chicken, but in Korean, D is for "dahk," and the "jj" in the Korean word for stew "jjim" is a sound that doesn't have an English equivalent. About the closest thing is something between "j" and "ch."

So now that we're done with the Korean language lesson, dahk-jjim is a type of Korean homestyle comfort food. It is a chicken stew made by cooking chicken on the bone for a very long time in a pot on the stove top. Onions, carrots, and potatoes also go into the pot, along with the stewing liquid of chicken broth, soy sauce, and a few other seasonings. Serve it with steamed white rice and since the dahk jjim isn't spicy, put some spicy bahn chan on the table.
