How Korean Chefs Make 1,700 Of Spicy Stew Over Wood Fires Every Day | Big Batches | Food Insider
Dakbokkeumtang is a popular spicy chicken stew in South Korea that’s typically made with sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots, onions, and a broth of gochujang chili paste. At Samgeori Farms in Damyang County, South Korea, dakbokkeumtang is the only item on the menu - and it’s made with a patented sauce.
We visited Samgeori Farms to see how this dish is prepared and what it takes to make such big batches.

$1=₩1379, current conversation rate. So ₩69000÷1379 = $50.03. That's how much it is for that while wok full of the chicken stew, not one serving. So $50 for what looks like at least 4 servings of chicken and veggie stew.

Plus two servings of noodles at the end so the stew broth doesn't go to waste. That's pretty good utilization right there.
Yummy, looks delicious. Respect to the cooks for all of the hard work instead of taking the easier ways out and I'm sure you can taste it, it's worth it in the end.

While I’m always suspicious of any claims that a staple food of a people’s cuisine was only recently introduced to those people - like the utterly false claim that the Italians didn’t have pasta before Marco Polo returned from China - I’ve never seen any claim that chili “pepper” existed in Pre-Columbian Europe or Asia. I’m more than willing to be proved wrong about that, but this video is the first time I’ve ever heard it suggested.
old video.. reposted?
Woah... 55$ a bowl?! Take that, colonel sanders!
Looks amazing. Americans need to see programs like this, because this is how Americans used to eat. I had chicken in Asia a few decades ago and the quality of the chicken paled in comparison to what we were eating in the states then. It is the complete opposite now. I can pay $25 for a quality chicken in the US now, but I go to any KFC, or any restaurant that has an interstate supply chain, and the chicken reminds me of the undernourished specimens I had overseas those many years ago. Something has to change.
