I was told that 닭다리 means chicken leg. When I had this soup in Chonan it was made with chicken legs.

Dori is how Koreans say Tori.

One of my fondest memories from childhood is when my parents would take me to the countryside in Korea and we’d go to like a chicken farm type place where you could pick out a chicken and they would make you dak dori tang out of it. So delicious.

I’m not too crazy about this recipe though. This dish is meant to be a stew so IMO using dark meat and bones is absolutely necessary. The flavor simply won’t be there if it’s made with boneless breasts.

Also the cooking vessel used should be a stew pot rather than a wok and the whole thing should stew for a good hour to get the yummy chicken flavor going.

Actually “dori” in Japanese is Street or avenue.

“Tori” is bird.

Hi Amanda,

I don’t have a recipe for Dakgejang yet, maybe in the future I might make it.

Looking for the recipe for a Korean Soup I cannot find. Is usually served in Japanese/ Korean Restaurants. Not sure of the spelling. “Dak ge Jang”. Thanks Amanda
