Chicken Bulgogi
This moist, sweetly spicy chicken is a quick and easy dinner option. Serve it with jasmine rice and Korean potato salad.
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken things (cut into ½" x 2" strips)
- 1½ Tbsp Korean red peper flakes (gochugaru)
- 1½ Tbsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1- 1½ Tbsp Korean red chili pepper paste (gochujang)
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 Tbsp corn syrup
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- ½ Tbsp ginger paste
- ½ Tbsp garlic paste
In a large bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients together.
Slice the chicken into strips (½" x 2"). I use kitchen shears to cut the slices.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours ( I aim for 6-8 hours).
Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan or cast iron skillet.
Cook the chicken in batches on medium heat, ensuring not to overcrowd the the pieces so they caramelize slightly. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Toss a few times while sautéing.
Serve immediately over jasmine rice and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds if desired.
