01
Step 1
Start by mixing the soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and chile powder in a bowl to create the marinade. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook them until they’re nicely browned all over, which should take about 10 minutes. Once browned, toss the chicken in the marinade so it’s well coated.

Step 2
In the same pot, add the remaining vegetable oil and throw in the carrots, potatoes, leek, and onion. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the onions become soft and translucent—about 10 minutes. Then add the habanero pepper and cook for another minute until you start to smell its aroma.

Step 3
Pour in water, add the marinated chicken back into the pot, and bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently. If it looks too thick, add a bit more water. Keep simmering until the vegetables are tender, which should take around 10 minutes.
