Submitted by: Dustin

Ingredients: (with my modifications)
  • 1 package of thighs (4 thighs), 2 lbs
  • 1 large onion, sliced into 1/4-inch slices (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 tbls Gochujang
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 tbls rice vinegar
  • 1.5 tbls light soy sauce
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1- to 2-inch chunks (I don't peel them, but that is a personal preference)
  • 1.25 lbs Roma tomatoes, quartered, seeds removed
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (roughly 1 tsp each)

Directions: 
  1. Combine potatoes, onion, tomato, chicken pieces, bay leaves, and a large pinch of salt in a pressure cooker. Toss with hands to combine. Seal lid and cook under high pressure for 25 minutes. Release pressure, remove lid, season to taste, and serve.
Notes: 
  1. The original recipe didn't use things like the white wine, soy sauce, or gochujang, but I wanted to make it richer / spice it up.  The gochujang is really important, but how much you use is personal preference. It adds this excellent depth of flavor and touch of spice.
  2. The original recipe also calls for just tossing everything in and cooking it.  I have found a better result by browning the chicken first, then deglazing with the white wine and then adding the vinegar, soy sauce, and gochujang to mix until well incorporated.
  3. Careful to not add too much salt, because it has soy sauce it already has some salt to begin with.
