Chicken Jorim (Soy-Braised Chicken)

Korean jorim is a classic braise of meat, fish or veggies simmered in a savory soy sauce until they’ve absorbed all of the flavors of the thickened liquid Typically done with beef, the stew is equally flavorful with quick-cooking chicken Here, cubed chicken thighs and potatoes are braised in a tangy sauce infused with ginger, garlic cloves and mushrooms, a simple combination that delivers deep flavor
