Slow cooker Dak galbi

My friends are always asking me for recipes of what I make.  After high demand of starting my own blog, I just decided to do this so that my friends can have my recipes.  I'm no chef, but I do love cooking.  

The first dish I would like to share is my slow cooker Dak galbi.  I first decided to purchase a slow cooker, since I will start getting busier with a baby coming along.  I try to make things as simple as possible.  Cooking is fun, it doesn't have to be so complicated.

INGREDIENTS:

-1/4 of a cabbage

-1/2 a carrot

-1/2 an onion

-2 sweet potatoes

-2 cups of rice cake

-3 scallions

-1 kilo (2 pounds) of chicken (I just used one of those pre packaged boxes)

*chicken thighs are preferable but I only had breast, so I used that instead

-1 cup of water

SAUCE:

-4 tbs of soy sauce

-2 tbs of kochujjang (hot pepper paste)

-1 tbs of brown sugar (you can use regular sugar)

-1 tbs of kochukaru (hot pepper powder)

-1 tbs of olikodang  (see image below)

*if you do not have olikodang, then you can add 1 more tbs of sugar or use 1 tbs of mool yot instead.

-2 tbs of sesame oil

-2 tbs of mirin (you can use sake or any rice wine)

-1 scallion

-3 ground garlic

-1 tbs of sesame seeds

STEPS:

1. Make the sauce by mixing all ingredients.  Make sure you slice the scallion into small tiny pieces.   No specific order of mixing is necessary. 

2.  Slice the chicken into 2 in long rectangles and then mix the raw chicken with the sauce and set aside.

3.  Slice all the vegetables (cabagge, carrots, onion, sweet potato and scallion) into long slices.

4. Layer on the slow cooker the vegetables on the bottom, except the scallion.

5. Add 1 cup of water.

6. Layer the rice cake, the chicken and then the scallions. One on top of the other.

7. Set the temperature of high for 4 hours. 

ENJOY!! :)
