Gochujang Chicken

The ultimate Korean comfort food

This is my first Korean recipe on this blog (cool). When I was out grocery shopping, I stumbled upon Gochujang, and it looked so good that i decided I simply HAD to make something with it. This is the result. Serve with rice.

Ingredients

  • Gochujang
  • Chicken breasts
  • Cornstarch
  • Spring onion
  • White onion
  • Garlic
  • Sugar
  • Soy sauce
  • Sesame oil
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional, garnish)
  • Cooking oil

Cooking plan

  • Cut your chicken breasts into cubes.
  • Coat your chicken in a layer of cornstarch
  • In a seperate bowl, prepare your sauce by mixing sugar, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil and gochujang.
  • In a pan (or a wok if possible) stir fry your chicken breasts until it has become a bit crispy. Make sure to use a lot of oil, as otherwise the cornstarch will stick to the pan.
  • Chop your white onion into large chunks.
  • Once the chicken is crisp, remove some of the excess oil and add your spring onion and white onion.
  • Finally, add your sauce to the pan and stir it until it has the right consistency.

ENJOY!!
