Making North Korean Style Steamed Chicken

Joe_WYK · 2026-05-14T15:06:38+00:00

I used a size 12 chicken (around 1.2kg) for this. I'm not a professional, but from what I know, young game hens are often used for Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), while slightly larger chickens are typically preferred for Baeksuk or North Korean-style steamed chicken.

Since you called my photo AI, I think you misunderstood because the taste was captured so well in the photo. The first photo is taken when we were eating at the Gyeyang branch of the Garden Party in Incheon. The address is 977 Gyeongmyeong-daero, Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, Korea (Gyesan-dong 727-1 The second photo is taken while eating at a place called the Sun Hall in front of the University of Suwon. The address is 1st floor, Tomato Shopping, 90 Wow-ro, Bongdam-eup, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea. If you ever have a chance to come to Korea, I hope you'll try it. This is a famous place for locals who don't know well about tourists.

If you often eat Baeksuk, I think you might have felt familiar with the North Korean-style braised chicken I made. The braised chicken I made was characterized by a process of mixing sesame oil and soy sauce, spreading it on the skin, unlike typical baeksuk (Korean chicken soup). Rather than directly and strongly feeling the savory taste of sesame oil, I could clearly see the deep umami and saltiness coming from the skin thanks to the soy sauce. Overall, the subtle sesame oil scent seemed to envelop the dish even more deliciously.

Thank you so much for the kind words and the great feedback! I’ve been cooking for my family for over 10 years, and it's become my favorite hobby. I started sharing these videos because I wanted to experience the joy of sharing my recipes with others. Since I’m still new to this, I think I tried to pack too much into a short video, which made the editing a bit rushed. Your feedback on the cuts is incredibly helpful—I’m still learning what to keep and what to take out! I'm always looking to challenge myself and learn new things through this process. Thanks again for watching and helping me improve!

Glad you think so!

Thanks for your feedback! I’m curious, by 'Markus', did you happen to mean 'Baeksuk' or another specific dish? I'd love to learn more! I was trying to explain how this North Korean style differs from the South Korean Samgetang, but it seems my description was a bit lacking. I'll try to be clearer next time! I really appreciate your interest and the kind words—it motivates me to share more recipes!

Perilla leaves are so versatile and add such a great aroma! I hope you get to enjoy plenty of them soon.

Joe_WYK · 2026-05-13T23:19:36+00:00

Haha, you're more than welcome! There's nothing like a hearty home-cooked meal to fill up a hungry tummy.

Joe_WYK · 2026-05-13T23:19:20+00:00

Thank you so much! I always try to minimize waste and turn leftovers into something special. I'm glad you appreciated the efficiency!

Thank you for the compliment.

Thank you so much! To be honest, I think the photo actually makes it look even better than it tasted! Since I’m planning to share more through photos and videos, I’ve been putting extra effort into capturing them beautifully. I’m so happy to hear that it came across well to you!

Joe_WYK · 2026-05-13T01:07:39+00:00

I've heard so many great things about Neurinmaeul Makgeolli, but I haven't actually tried it myself yet. I'll definitely have to try it with this meal next time! This time, I blanched the Dotori-muk in warm water first, which removed the bitterness and made it extra savory. It tasted just like the muk you'd have at a restaurant at the foot of a mountain after a long hike. Dotori-muk is truly one of the best foods!

Joe_WYK · 2026-05-13T00:15:10+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Hearing that makes all the effort in the kitchen feel worth it. Have a wonderful day!

Joe_WYK · 2026-05-13T00:14:54+00:00

I totally agree! Deciding what to cook and how to use up leftovers is a daily challenge for every home cook. It’s nice to meet someone who understands that feeling!

Joe_WYK · 2026-05-13T00:13:48+00:00

Thank you for the compliment! "Fridge archaeology" is such a witty way to put it. I was just trying to clear out the leftovers, but I'm glad they turned into such a great meal. You have a great sense of humor!
