29 ounces Chicken Thighs (skinless)
6 1⁄2 cups Water
2 whole Potatoes (cut into chunks)
1 whole Carrot (cut into chunks)
1 whole Onion (cut into chunks)
5 whole Dried Chilis
5 ounces Korean Glass Noodles (or 150 grams)
3 whole Mushrooms (sliced)
1 whole Green Onion (chopped)
1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
1⁄3 cup Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar
2 tablespoons Mirin
1 tablespoon Honey
1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
1 tablespoon Garlic (minced)
1⁄2 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
1⁄4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Directions
  1. On medium-high heat, boil 5 cups of water in a medium sized pot. Once it’s at a rolling boiling, add the chicken and parboil the chicken for 1 minute to skim off any fat. Drain the water.
  2. In a clean Dutch oven, add the chicken then add 1 1/2 cups water, soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, honey, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and black pepper. Boil them over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, covered.
  3. Add the potatoes, carrots, onions and chilies and boil for 7 minutes more, covered. Reduce the heat to medium and stir gently. Simmer for an additional 8 minutes, covered.
  4. Add the glass noodles, mushrooms, and green onions and simmer until the noodles and mushrooms are cooked, another 5 minutes, covered. Stir lightly to make sure the noodles and the mushrooms are mixed with the sauce.
  5. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Serve hot with a bowl of steamed rice.
