Really enjoyed this recipe--changed the cooking methods a little; I pan-fried the chicken until crisp and golden, then added the soy sauce and let it cook through. The veggies I did separately (omitting the onion) in a fry-pan; I cooked them with the seasonings in a little bit of water until they were soft and cooked through. I like to use Rocoto chile paste (available in Mexican food stores); it is really spicy, but doesn't overpower the other flavors in the meal. Thanks!! We will definitely make this again.

The smell and taste of this and instantly brought back feelings from my childhood. I can't explain it but it envoked so much emotion to me. What is even more odd is my mother never made this dish. Thank you for such a food experience. As to note the actual recipe. I made this exact with all the ingedients. Next time I will scale back to 2 tablespoons pepper paste and 1/2 teaspoon rep pepper flake. Also please try to go buy the gochujang. It is what makes the dish just right, gives it a nice depth with a little heat and it's own kind of slight sweet note. You will not find the same flavor in other sauces. You can pick up a small jar at a Korean market for around three dollars. Just make sure it is a deep red and it will look like tooth paste.

The taste was good, but I didn't like the texture the potatoes brought to the dish. Like others I cut back on the heat and the next time I will make it without potatoes.

I thought this was fantastic but my husband found it too spicy even though I omitted the hot sauce. Too much crushed red pepper for him. I had to make him some bacon and eggs. I'll make it again, cutting the red pepper down and just add hot chili paste to mine when served.

This was pretty good. I cut back slightly on the red pepper and the paste, but would probably follow the recommended amounts next time. I did add a little more water and some red and yellow bell pepper. I also used low sodium soy sauce and didn't add any additional salt. Good reviews from my dinner companions!

Very good, quick and simple meal that I will make again. As the description stated, this one is very spicy. I cut back a little on the crushed red pepper flakes, and I did not have the Korean hot pepper paste but used the hunan red chili sauce that I had instead. Also, I knew I would want sticky rice with this dish (in my opinion you must eat this with rice) so I omitted the potatoes and threw in some celery. I just didn't see us eating potatoes and rice. Very good.

This was delicious! I've never had this dish before so I don't know how authentic it was but I really loved it. I only used 1Tbsp crushed red pepper and I didn't have gochujang, so I used 2 Tbsp Thai Chili Garlic Paste. I was glad I cut the heat a little, it still had plenty of kick! I served it with rice but it would have been great without it. Delicious...will definitely make again.
