    Notes

    How to Store & Re-Heat
    To store the Spicy Korean Chicken Stew, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container.
    Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or reheat the entire stew on the stovetop over medium heat.
    If needed, add a little water or chicken broth to maintain the desired consistency. Make sure it's heated thoroughly before serving.
    Make-Ahead & Freeze
    Spicy Korean Chicken Stew is a great make-ahead dish that can be prepared and stored in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve.
    To make the stew ahead of time, follow the recipe as directed and allow the stew to cool to room temperature.
    Once cooled, transfer the stew to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
    When you are ready to serve the stew, reheat it using the microwave or stovetop method until heated.
    If the stew has thickened during storage, you may need to add a splash of water or chicken broth to loosen it up.
