1. 1Wash the chicken thoroughly and blanch it in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse to remove impurities.
2. 2Prepare the vegetables by cutting the potatoes and onions into bite-sized chunks.
3. 3In a pot, combine the chicken, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, dried peppers, and enough water to cover the ingredients.
4. 4Bring to a boil, add the potatoes, and simmer on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.
5. 5Add the onions and pre-soaked glass noodles, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the noodles are soft and the sauce has thickened.

💡 Cooking Tips

Soaking the chicken in milk for 20 minutes before cooking removes any gamey odors and results in much more tender meat.
