Dear Maangchi,
My husband and I don’t eat potatoes, what could we use to replace it and not affect the flavor of this dish? Thank you so much!
Jen
I think some sliced lotus root would be tasty! It would probably not add the same amount of starchy richness, but lotus root is always good in soups and stews.

Is this recipe spicy? Would it not be good if I took out all peppers in the recipe for the kids?
Yes, of course you can skip all peppers for your children. Good luck!
Hi maangchi~♡
I always love your recipes and it always turned out delicious as well~!!! So my auntie suddenly want to eat spicy jjimdak so I made it through your recipe with some self modification, I add some chilli powder ( 고춧가루 ) and more chillies (청양고추) in it… turned out very nice!!!! Thank you for always sharing nice food recipes!!!
Came out so Delicious! Thank you !! I will be using this recipe for a lifetime.

Hello,
Is there any difference between this recipe and the Daegu 찜닭?
i really loved the chicken from there since you said there are different styles of it.
Thank you in advance
Really love this recipe Maangchi! Made it quite often already just like many of your recipes. I just wanted to point out that this recipe doesn’t state how much garlic and ginger is used. At some point we just have to add it, which can be confusing for some. I just looked at rhe picture and always use a lot of garlic and it always turns out delicious!!
Thank you for inspiring us!
Kind regards,

Hi Maangchi,
i do not have any of the rice or corn syrup, can i replace it with honey instead?
Honey sounds good! You can also use sugar.
I’ve tried using maple syrup and it turns up to be delicious too! my family love it so much but too bad that I’ve forgotten to take down a photo of it.
Hi Maangchi!!
Thank you so much for your recipes, they’re always delicious and I have a lot of fun watching your videos!!! My mum really likes dangmyeon, so I made this recipe for my family today. It was really tasty and they enjoyed it a lot!! I’ve attached a picture below – it’s not as pretty as yours, though ^^
Thank you again for your wonderful recipes and energy!! I hope you’re staying healthy at the moment!

Wow it looks like mine! The shredded green onions make it look so special! Good luck with your Korean cooking.
Such a lovely chicken flavor, so delicious! Made for my husband and he loves it. Already asking for it again and we have leftovers! Thanks for making these dishes accessible and bringing this flavor to my house.
