[Tonight's Dinner Recommendation] Introduction to Altoran Dakhanmari and garlic chives dipping sauce recipes

Chicken dishes are diverse. Chicken can be cooked in various ways, such as dakbokkeumtang (spicy braised chicken), dakgalbi (spicy stir-fried chicken), jjimdak (braised chicken), and dakbaeksuk (boiled chicken). Among them, dakbaeksuk is very popular as a summer health food. Let's look at the recipe for 'Dakhanmari' (boiled chicken) introduced recently on Altoran, along with a garlic chives dipping sauce that goes well with it. Additionally, we introduce a chili vinegar recipe to add flavor to summer dishes.

How to make Altoran Dakhanmari

Dakhanmari is characterized by the inclusion of ingredients like wheat cakes (miltteok), soybean sprouts, and potatoes, which are not typically seen in other dakbaeksuk dishes. Various ingredients are used to create a deep flavor in the broth. Ingredients needed to make Dakhanmari include chicken, roasted anchovies, potatoes, wheat cakes, whole garlic, soybean sprouts, green onions, onions, kelp, and saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp).

How to make the garlic chives dipping sauce

Chicken and garlic chives pair well together. Let's look at how to make the garlic chives dipping sauce that goes well with Dakhanmari. The garlic chives dipping sauce recipe is simple. First, make the seasoning. For the seasoning, simply mix half a cup of water, half a cup of soy sauce, 1/3 cup of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of hot mustard, and 5 soaked and ground dried red peppers in a bowl. You can use wasabi instead of hot mustard. It is finished by pouring an appropriate amount of the prepared seasoning over 60 g of garlic chives cut into 5 cm pieces.

How to make chili vinegar

Chili vinegar works well in summer dishes such as bibim-guksu (spicy mixed noodles) and cold cucumber soup. Ingredients for making chili vinegar include Cheongyang chili peppers, brown rice vinegar, and a sterilized glass jar.
