• 1 tablespoon garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, Korean rice wine, sugar, minced garlic, and ginger. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. 2

4. 4

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

5. 5

   Uncover and let it cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken the sauce, stirring occasionally.
