This is a recipe taken without perimission from Madhur
Jaffery's Far Eastern Cookery book.  I forgot what it's 
called, but the dish originates from Korea, I think.

Uses Hot Fermented Bean Paste....

6 pieces of chicken (normally I use dark meat)
4 medium potatoes
1 small onion
4 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Hot Fermented Bean Paste (HFBP)
2 cups water
1 small red pepper
1 small green pepper
freshly ground pepper to taste
roasted sesame seeds (optional, but very good!)

Put the chicken in a large pot with light soy sauce and sugar.
Slowly add water to HFBP in a seperate bowl, mixing as you go.
Add this to the pot with chicken, bring to a boil, cover, reduce
heat and simmer 10 minutes.  Add potatoes and onion, bring to a 
boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes.  Slice up red and
green pepper and add to chicken (add in pepper to taste).  Simmer
5 more minutes and serve with roasted sesame seeds on top.

Great over rice and keeps for weeks.  I usually have a pot of this
at home for the nights I come home hungry with not much time to cook.
