Step 5

Pour in chicken broth, making sure the chicken is about 70% submerged. I used about 1 3/4 cup of broth but depending on your skillet, you may need more. Adjust accordingly!

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure the bottom does not burn.

Add the vegetables:

Step 7

Add in the carrots, potatoes, and green onions. Cover and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are fork tender.

Step 8

Make sure to stir occasionally, and spoon the sauce over the chicken and veggies.

Add the noodles,

Step 9

Uncover and add the sweet potato glass noodles. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the noodles are soft.

Step 10

Uncover the skillet and evenly drizzle 1 tbsp of sesame oil on top of the dakdoritang. Leave the skillet uncovered and cook the dakdoritang for an additional 5 minutes to allow for the sauce to thicken slightly.
