Ingredients
2 Tbsp gochujang
Dash of black pepper
1 Tbsp gochugaru
1 Tbsp soysauce
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp mirin
1/4 curry block
1 Tsp garlic
1 lb Chicken thigh
Cabbage
Onion
Perilla leaves
Dduk (ricecakes)
Korean sweet potato
Scallions
On a cutting board, place the chicken between two pieces of paper towel and press with your hands to dry it out
After the chicken has been dried, cut it into bite-size pieces
Add the chicken to a bowl with the gochujang, gochugaru, black pepper, soysauce, honey, sesame oil, mirin, curry block, and garlic
Use your hand (protected with a plastic glove) to mix everything together and marinate the chicken
Using a clean cutting board, cut the cabbage, onion, scallions, perilla leaves, and sweet potato into bite-sized pieces (you can cook everything at once, but I prefer to boil the sweet potato in a pot with water separately)
Add some oil to a heated pan and stir-fry the marinated chicken first
Add the cooked sweet potatoes, dduk (ricecakes), and a little bit of water to the pan and stir-fry on high heat for 5 minutes
After the 5 minutes is up, add the cabbage, onions, scallions, and perilla leaves (add these last!)
Stir everything until it's evenly cooked, and enjoy!
